Glutathione adducts induced by ischemia and deletion of glutaredoxin-1 stabilize HIF-1α and improve limb revascularization. [PDF]
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are increased in ischemic tissues and necessary for revascularization; however, the mechanism remains unclear. Exposure of cysteine residues to ROS in the presence of glutathione (GSH) generates GSH-protein adducts that are ...

Pramipexole enhances levodopa's therapeutic efficacy in Parkinson's disease: Role of glutaredoxin-1 (GRX1), peroxiredoxin3 (PRX3), thioredoxin (TRX), 8-hydroxy-2 -deoxyguanosine (8-OHDG), and neurosteroid dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA-S) [PDF]
Background: Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterised by progressive neurodegeneration and dopamine deficiency. Levodopa remains a cornerstone treatment, but its longterm use is associated with motor complications and reduced efficacy.

Oxidative stress is thought to contribute to the initiation and progression of atherosclerosis. As glutathione peroxidase-1 (Gpx1) is an antioxidant enzyme that detoxifies lipid hydroperoxides, we tested the impact of Gpx1 deficiency on atherosclerotic ...

Evidence for the dimerization-mediated catalysis of methionine sulfoxide reductase A from Clostridium oremlandii. [PDF]
Clostridium oremlandii MsrA (CoMsrA) is a natively selenocysteine-containing methionine-S-sulfoxide reductase and classified into a 1-Cys type MsrA. CoMsrA exists as a monomer in solution.

Atomic Sulfur: An Element for Adaptation to an Oxidative Environment
During the period of rising oxygen concentration in the Earth’s atmosphere (Figure 1), sulfur atoms were incorporated into proteins as redox-active cysteine residues [1] and antioxidant molecules such as thioredoxin, glutathione, and glutaredoxin ...

Glutathione and Glutaredoxin—Key Players in Cellular Redox Homeostasis and Signaling
This Special Issue of Antioxidants on Glutathione (GSH) and Glutaredoxin (Grx) was designed to collect review articles and original research studies focused on advancing the current understanding of the roles of the GSH/Grx system in cellular homeostasis
