The Antidiabetic Potential of Alpha‐Mangostin: A Review of Preclinical and Clinical Evidence

AgriFood: Journal of Agricultural Products for Food, EarlyView.
Alpha‐mangostin is a compound from the pericarp of Garcinia mangostana. The antidiabetic effects of alpha‐mangostin include enhancing insulin secretion, improving glucose uptake through GLUT receptor upregulation, reducing oxidative stress and inflammation, promoting wound healing, reducing HbA1C, reducing HOMA‐IR index, and decreased mRNA expressions ...

Exogenous sucrose influences antioxidant enzyme activities and reduces lipid peroxidation in water-stressed cucumber leaves

Biologia Plantarum, 2015
To investigate whether exogenous sucrose can protect cucumber from water stress, cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) seedlings were pretreated with 90 mM sucrose or 90 mM mannitol for 1 d and then were dehydrated with 10 % (m/v) polyethylene glycol (PEG) 6000 ...

Activation of 3-Mercaptopyruvate Sulfurtransferase by Glutaredoxin Reducing System

Biomolecules, 2020
Glutaredoxin (EC 1.15–1.21) is known as an oxidoreductase that protects cysteine residues within proteins against oxidative stress. Glutaredoxin catalyzes an electron transfer reaction that donates an electron to substrate proteins in the reducing system

Glutaredoxins Rapidly Reduce Glutathione Hydroper‐ and Polysulfides

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.
Glutaredoxins (Grx) rapidly reduce glutathione polysulfides (GSSnSG) to glutathione hydroper/polysulfides (GSSnH) or GSSnH to hydrogen (poly)sulfides (H2Sn). Reduction of glutathionylated glutaredoxins by reduced glutathione (GSH) yields glutathione disulfide (GSSG).
