Glutathione and mitochondria [PDF]
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2014 Glutathione (GSH) is the main non-protein thiol in cells whose functions are dependent on the redox-active thiol of its cysteine moiety that serves as a cofactor for a number of antioxidant and detoxifying enzymes. While synthesized exclusively in the cytosol from its constituent amino acids, GSH is distributed in different compartments, including ...

The Arabidopsis Book, 2011 Glutathione is a simple sulfur compound composed of three amino acids and the major non-protein thiol in many organisms, including plants. The functions of glutathione are manifold but notably include redox-homeostatic buffering. Glutathione status is modulated by oxidants as well as by nutritional and other factors, and can influence protein structure

Expression of Heterologous OsDHAR Gene Improves Glutathione (GSH)-Dependent Antioxidant System and Maintenance of Cellular Redox Status in Synechococcus elongatus PCC 7942. [PDF]
, 2020 An excess of reactive oxygen species (ROS) can cause severe oxidative damage to cellular components in photosynthetic cells. Antioxidant systems, such as the glutathione (GSH) pools, regulate redox status in cells to guard against such damage ...

Glutathione in the Brain [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021 Glutathione (GSH) is the most abundant non-protein thiol, and plays crucial roles in the antioxidant defense system and the maintenance of redox homeostasis in neurons. GSH depletion in the brain is a common finding in patients with neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease, and can cause neurodegeneration prior to

GLUTATHIONE DETERMINATION AND A STUDY OF THE ACTIVITY OF GLUTATHIONE-PEROXIDASE, GLUTATHIONE-TRANSFERASE, AND GLUTATHIONE-REDUCTASE IN RENAL TRANSPLANTS [PDF]
Renal Failure, 2002 The aim of this work is to study the temporary variation of oxidative stress in renal transplants, both in plasma and in erythrocytes (CR). In order to do so, we determined total glutathione (GST) levels, both oxidized (GSSG) and reduced (GSH), and the activity of enzymes, glutathione peroxidase (G-px), glutathione reductase (G-red) and glutathione ...

Understanding cisplatin resistance using cellular models [PDF]
, 2007 Many mechanisms of cisplatin resistance have been proposed from studies of cellular models of resistance including changes in cellular drug accumulation, detoxification of the drug, inhibition of apoptosis and repair of the DNA adducts.
