Effects of inactivity on human muscle glutathione synthesis by a double-tracer and single-biopsy approach [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Oxidative stress is often associated to inactivity-mediated skeletal muscle atrophy. Glutathione is one of the major antioxidant systems stimulated, both at muscular and systemic level, by activation of oxidative processes.

Effects of Panthenol and N-Acetylcysteine on Changes in the Redox State of Brain Mitochondria under Oxidative Stress In Vitro

open access: yesAntioxidants, 2021
The glutathione system in the mitochondria of the brain plays an important role in maintaining the redox balance and thiol–disulfide homeostasis, whose violations are the important component of the biochemical shifts in neurodegenerative diseases ...

Thioredoxin and Glutathione Systems

open access: yes, 2021
Most cancer cells contain high levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which result in higher expression levels of the glutathione and thioredoxin reductase systems. These antioxidant systems convert ROS to nonharmful compounds and they also reduce disulfide bonds in oxidized proteins.

EFFECT OF N-ACETYLCYSTEINE ON APOPTOSIS OF P19 CANCER CELLS DURING HYPOXIA

open access: yesСибирский онкологический журнал, 2020
Introduction. Hypoxia in tumor growth contributes to mitochondrial dysfunction and exacerbates oxidative stress in the immortalized cell. The objective of the study was to investigate the molecular mechanisms of the effects of N-acetylcysteine on redox ...

Mitochondrial thiol-disulfide system under acute hypoxia and hypoxic-hyperoxic adaptation [PDF]

open access: yesThe Ukrainian Biochemical Journal, 2014
The authors investigated the state of mitochondrial glutathione pool (reduced and oxidized glutathione, protein-GSH mixed disulfides), content of carbonyl groups and free sulfhydryl groups of proteins, protein expression of key mitochondrial antioxidant ...

The glutathione biosynthetic pathway of Plasmodium is essential for mosquito transmission [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
1Infection of red blood cells (RBC) subjects the malaria parasite to oxidative stress. Therefore, efficient antioxidant and redox systems are required to prevent damage by reactive oxygen species. Plasmodium spp.

Cellular glutathione content in the organ of Corti and its role during ototoxicity. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Glutathione (GSH) is the major scavenger of reactive oxygen species (ROS) inside cells. We used live confocal imaging in order to clarify the role of GSH in the biology of the organ of Corti, the sensory epithelium of the cochlea, before, during and ...

Adaptive response to oxidative stress in the filamentous fungus Aspergillus niger B1-D [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
In the present study, we used a recombinant filamentous fungus strain, Aspergillus niger B1-D, as a model system, and investigated the antioxidant defences in this organism.

Cell signalling and the glutathione redox system [PDF]

open access: yesBiochemical Pharmacology, 2002
The reduction/oxidation (redox) state of the cell is a consequence of the balance between the levels of oxidising and reducing equivalents. A reducing intracellular environment is often associated with cell survival; however, redox unbalance is necessary since it represents a regulatory sensor for several nuclear transcription factors.
