Sugar and chromosome stability: Clastogenic effects of sugars in vitamin B6-deficient cells [PDF]
, 2014 Pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP), the active form of vitamin B6, has been implicated in preventing human pathologies, such as diabetes and cancer. However, the mechanisms underlying the beneficial effects of PLP are still unclear. Using Drosophila as a model

NRF2 signalling in cytoprotection and metabolism
British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView., 2023 The KEAP1‐NRF2 system plays a central role in cytoprotection in defence mechanisms against oxidative stress. The KEAP1‐NRF2 system has been regarded as a sulfur‐utilizing cytoprotective mechanism, because KEAP1 serves as a biosensor for electrophiles by using its reactive thiols and NRF2 is a transcriptional factor regulating genes involved in sulfur ...

The Human SLC25A33 and SLC25A36 Genes of Solute Carrier Family 25 Encode Two Mitochondrial Pyrimidine Nucleotide Transporters [PDF]
, 2014 The human genome encodes 53 members of the solute carrier family 25 (SLC25), also called the mitochondrial carrier family, many of which have been shown to transport inorganic anions, amino acids, carboxylates, nucleotides, and coenzymes across the inner

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.A reaction starting from two amino acids, phosphoserine and Gly, reveals a pathway to the α‐keto acid building blocks pyruvate and glyoxylate, key components of a plausible early metabolic system. A one‐pot β‐elimination and transamination sequence also initiates a cascade of protometabolic transformations that provide crucial insights into the ...

Assessment of vitamin E status in patients with systemic inflammatory response syndrome: plasma, plasma corrected for lipids or red blood cell measurements? [PDF]
, 2009 <b>Background:</b> There is some evidence that the plasma vitamin E status is perturbed as part of systemic inflammatory response and correcting this with other plasma markers may not lead to reliable results.
