Glutathione Metabolism in Renal Cell Carcinoma Progression and Implications for Therapies [PDF]
A significantly increased level of the reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenger glutathione (GSH) has been identified as a hallmark of renal cell carcinoma (RCC). The proposed mechanism for increased GSH levels is to counteract damaging ROS to sustain the

Adipocytes cause leukemia cell resistance to daunorubicin via oxidative stress response. [PDF]
Adipocytes promote cancer progression and impair treatment, and have been shown to protect acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) cells from chemotherapies. Here we investigate whether this protection is mediated by changes in oxidative stress.

Glutathione s-transferase omega in the lung and sputum supernatants of COPD patients [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The major contribution to oxidant related lung damage in COPD is from the oxidant/antioxidant imbalance and possibly impaired antioxidant defence. Glutathione (GSH) is one of the most important antioxidants in human lung and lung secretions,

Overexpression of Glutamate-Cysteine Ligase Extends Life Span in Drosophila melanogaster [PDF]
The hypothesis that overexpression of glutamate-cysteine ligase (GCL), which catalyzes the rate-limiting reaction in de novo glutathione biosynthesis, could extend life span was tested in the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster. The GAL4-UAS binary transgenic system was used to generate flies overexpressing either the catalytic (GCLc) or modulatory ...

Environmental toxicity, redox signaling and lung inflammation:the role of glutathione [PDF]
Glutathione (γ-glutamyl-cysteinyl-glycine, GSH) is the most abundant intracellular antioxidant thiol and is central to redox defense during oxidative stress.
