Significance: The selenium-containing Glutathione peroxidases (GPxs) 1–4 protect against
oxidative challenge, inhibit inflammation and oxidant-induced regulated cell death. Recent …

Abstract Dietary selenium (] Se), mainly through its incorporation into selenoproteins, plays
an important role in inflammation and immunity. Adequate levels of Se are important for …

Rapid production of H2O2 is a hallmark of plant responses to diverse pathogens and plays a
crucial role in signalling downstream of various receptors that perceive immunogenic …

Maintenance of the cellular redox balance is crucial for cell survival. An increase in reactive
oxygen, nitrogen, or chlorine species can lead to oxidative stress conditions, potentially …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been shown to be toxic but also function as signalling
molecules. This biological paradox underlies mechanisms that are important for the integrity …

Hydrogen peroxide is generated in numerous biological processes and is implicated as the
main transmitter of redox signals. Although a strong oxidant, high activation energy barriers …

We review signaling by reactive oxygen species, which is emerging as a major physiological
process. However, among the reactive oxygen species, H2O2 best fulfills the requirements …

It is well established that oxidative stress is an important cause of cell damage associated
with the initiation and progression of many diseases. Consequently, all air-living organisms …

Exposure of cells to sublethal oxidative stress results in the modulation of various signaling
pathways. Oxidants can activate and inactivate transcription factors, membrane channels …

Convincing concepts of redox control of gene transcription have been worked out for
prokaryotes and lower eukaryotes, whereas the knowledge on complex mammalian systems …
