Surface modified sulfur nanoparticles can escape the glutathione reductase mediated detoxification system in fungi [PDF]
The antifungal effects of orthorhombic (~10 nm; spherical) and monoclinic (~50 nm; tetrapod) sulfur nanoparticles (SNPs) were studied against the NADPH-dependent glutathione reductase (GR) mediated xenobiotic detoxification system (GSH-GSSG) in filamentous fungi (Aspergillus niger as a model organism).

The effects of inorganic and organic selenium sources on growth performance, carcass traits, tissue mineral concentrations, and enzyme activity in poultry [PDF]
The purpose of this research was to compare dietary inorganic and organic Se sources in poultry. An experiment was conducted to assess daily egg production and Se deposition in eggs of hens fed diets supplemented with inorganic or organic Se. The results

As a plant‐derived flavonoid, apigenin directly targets PRDX6 to inhibit its PLA2 activity, blocking HSPA8 activation and disturbing its interactions with ATM and p38MAPK in senescent cells. By dampening wide spectrum expression of the SASP, apigenin prevents loss of tissue homeostasis, improves organ function, and alleviates multiple age‐related ...

Bistable equilibrium points of mercury body burden [PDF]
In the last century mercury levels in the global environment have tripled as a result of increased pollution from industrial, occupational, medicinal and domestic uses \cite{BaMe03}. Glutathione is known to be the main agent responsible for the excretion of mercury (we refer to \cite{Thim05}, \cite{ZalBar99} and \cite{Lyn02}).

Enhanced Tumor Accumulation of Sub-2 nm Gold Nanoclusters for Cancer Radiation Therapy [PDF]
A new type of metabolizable and efficient radiosensitizer for cancer radiotherapy is presented in this study by combining ultrasmall Au nanoclusters (NCs, <2 nm) with biocompatible coating ligands (glutathione, GSH). The new nano-construct (GSH-coated Au25 NCs) inherits attractive features of both the Au core (strong radiosensitizing effect) and GSH ...

Icaritin demonstrates broad antitumor effects by inhibiting colorectal cancer (CRC) cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and causing cell cycle arrest. It induces apoptosis by repressing autophagic flux through disrupting HSP90‐TXNDC9 interactions.

A possible role for selenoprotein glutathione peroxidase (GPx1) and thioredoxin reductases (TrxR1) in thyroid cancer. Our experience in thyroid surgery [PDF]
Background: Oxidative stress is responsible for some alterations in the chemical structure and, consequently, in the function of proteins, lipids, and DNA.

Catalase and glutathione peroxidase mimics [PDF]
Overproduction of the reactive oxygen species (ROS) superoxide (O(2)(-)) and hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) are increasingly implicated in human disease and aging. ROS are also being explored as important modulating agents in a number of cell signaling pathways.

Meisoindigo targets PKMYT1 for degradation by acting as a molecular glue that enhances PKMYT1‐TRIM25 interaction, leading to K48‐linked ubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation, thereby exerting therapeutic effects in chronic myeloid leukemia.
