Protective effect of sulfhydryl-containing antioxidants against ischemia/reperfusion injury of prepubertal rat intestine.

29 Nov 2009 BACKGROUND AND AIM: Reactive oxygen species generated during reperfusion of the tissue are known to play an important role in the basic pathophysiology of ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. The aim of this study was to investigate and compare the ... Read more...

Nutrition, brain aging, and neurodegeneration.

12 Oct 2009 The onset of age-related neurodegenerative diseases superimposed on a declining nervous system could enhance the motor and cognitive behavioral deficits that normally occur in senescence. It is likely that, in cases of severe deficits in memory or ... Read more...

Nrf2 and antioxidant defense against CYP2E1 toxicity.

29 Sep 2009 The transcription factor Nrf2 regulates the expression of important cytoprotective enzymes. Induction of CYP2E1 is one of the central pathways by which ethanol generates oxidative stress. CYP2E1 can be induced by ethanol and several low molecular ... Read more...
