Impact of Varicocele on The Expression of Testicular Enzymes Involved in The Transsulfuration Pathway [PDF]

International Journal of Fertility and Sterility
Background: Oxidative aggression is a hallmark of varicocele and may depend on decreased reactive ability ofthe endogenous antioxidant system following heat stress.

CTH/MPST double ablation results in enhanced vasorelaxation and reduced blood pressure via upregulation of the eNOS/sGC pathway

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2023
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S), a gasotransmitter with protective effects in the cardiovascular system, is endogenously generated by three main enzymatic pathways: cystathionine gamma lyase (CTH), cystathionine beta synthase (CBS) and 3-mercaptopyruvate ...

Cystathionine β-synthase polymorphisms and hyperhomocysteinaemia: an association study [PDF]

European Journal of Human Genetics, 2003
Hyperhomocysteinaemia is generally accepted as an independent and graded risk factor for both arterial occlusive disease and venous thrombosis. The only way of homocysteine degradation is conversion to cysteine in the transsulfuration pathway in which the regulating step is catalysed by cystathionine beta-synthase (CBS). Mild impairment of CBS function

Human polycomb 2 protein is a SUMO E3 ligase and alleviates substrate-induced inhibition of cystathionine beta-synthase sumoylation. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2008
Human cystathionine beta-synthase (CBS) catalyzes the first irreversible step in the transsulfuration pathway and commits homocysteine to the synthesis of cysteine. Mutations in CBS are the most common cause of severe hereditary hyperhomocysteinemia.

Astrocytic Redox Remodeling by Amyloid Beta Peptide [PDF]

, 2011
Astrocytes are critical for neuronal redox homeostasis providing them with cysteine needed for glutathione synthesis. In this study, we demonstrate that the astrocytic redox response signature provoked by amyloid beta (A-) is distinct from that of a ...

Characterization of hyperglycemia due to sub-chronic administration of red ginseng extract via comparative global proteomic analysis

Scientific Reports, 2021
Ginseng (Panax ginseng Meyer) is commonly used as an herbal remedy worldwide. Few studies have explored the possible physiological changes in the liver although patients often self-medicate with ginseng preparations, which may lead to exceeding the ...

Biosynthesis of H2S is impaired in non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice [PDF]

, 2008
Hydrogen sulphide (H2S) has been involved in cardiovascular homoeostasis but data about its role in animal models of diabetic pathology are still lacking.

Cystathionine β-synthase affects organization of cytoskeleton and modulates carcinogenesis in colorectal carcinoma cells

Frontiers in Oncology, 2023
BackgroundCystathionine β-synthase (CBS), one of three enzymes that endogenously produce hydrogen sulfide, is extensively studied for its relevance in the cells of various tumors.

Influence of hyperhomocysteinemia on the cellular redox state - Impact on homocysteine-induced endothelial dysfunction [PDF]

, 2003
Hyperhomocysteinemia is an independent risk factor for the development of atherosclerosis. An increasing body of evidence has implicated oxidative stress as being contributory to homocysteines deleterious effects on the vasculature.

Inhibition of hydrogen sulfide biosynthesis sensitizes lung adenocarcinoma to chemotherapeutic drugs by inhibiting mitochondrial DNA repair and suppressing cellular bioenergetics [PDF]

, 2016
Therapeutic manipulation of the gasotransmitter hydrogen sulfide (H(2)S) has recently been proposed as a novel targeted anticancer approach. Here we show that human lung adenocarcinoma tissue expresses high levels of hydrogen sulfide (H(2)S) producing ...
