Glutathione, glutathione disulfide, and S-glutathionylated proteins in cell cultures
The analysis of the global thiol-disulfide redox status in tissues and cells is a challenging task since thiols and disulfides can undergo artificial oxido-reductions during sample manipulation. Because of this, the measured values, in particular for disulfides, can have a significant bias. Whereas this methodological problem has already been addressed

Background: Presbycusis is a gradual hearing loss caused by the ageing process. This is a chronic condition that affects the elderly population, and sensorineural progressive bilateral symmetry occurs with predominantly high-frequency hearing loss. The ability to discriminate speech decreases; hence, most of the affected patients have conversation ...

A Dual Stimuli Responsive Supramolecular Gel Provides Insulin Hydrolysis Protection and Redox-Controlled Release of Actives [PDF]
Two supramolecular hydrogelators containing a central disulfide moiety and terminal carboxylic acid groups are studied. On the one hand, the hydrogels are responsive to a reductive environment, which transforms the disulfide unit to the corresponding ...

Dithiophosphate-Induced Redox Conversions of Reduced and Oxidized Glutathione
Phosphorus species are potent modulators of physicochemical and bioactive properties of peptide compounds. O,O-diorganyl dithiophoshoric acids (DTP) form bioactive salts with nitrogen-containing biomolecules; however, their potential as a peptide ...

Molecular responses of mouse macrophages to copper and copper oxide nanoparticles inferred from proteomic analyses [PDF]
The molecular responses of macrophages to copper-based nanoparticles have been investigated via a combination of proteomic and biochemical approaches, using the RAW264.7 cell line as a model. Both metallic copper and copper oxide nanoparticles have been tested, with copper ion and zirconium oxide nanoparticles used as controls.
