Abstract Haem oxygenase 1 (HO-1), an inducible enzyme responsible for the breakdown of
haem, is primarily considered an antioxidant, and has long been overlooked by …

The heme oxygenase (HO) enzyme system catabolizes heme to carbon monoxide (CO),
ferrous iron, and biliverdin-IXα (BV), which is reduced to bilirubin-IXα (BR) by biliverdin …

The multifunctional regulator nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor (Nrf2) is considered not
only as a cytoprotective factor regulating the expression of genes coding for anti-oxidant …

Heme-oxygenase is the enzyme responsible for degradation of endogenous iron
protoporphyirin heme; it catalyzes the reaction's rate-limiting step, resulting in the release of …

Significance: A common link between all forms of acute and chronic kidney injuries,
regardless of species, is enhanced generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and …

Heme oxygenase catalyzes the rate-limiting step in heme degradation in order to generate
biliverdin, carbon monoxide (CO), and iron. The inducible form of the enzyme, heme …

Carbon monoxide (CO) is increasingly being accepted as a cytoprotective and homeostatic
molecule with important signalling capabilities in physiological and pathophysiological …

The heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) enzyme system remains an attractive therapeutic target for
the treatment of inflammatory conditions. HO-1, a cellular stress protein, serves a vital …

Heme oxygenase (HO) is the primary antioxidant enzyme involved in heme group
degradation. A variety of stimuli triggers the expression of the inducible HO-1 isoform, which …

Hepatocyte damage and inflammation in monocytes/macrophages are central to the
pathogenesis of alcoholic hepatitis (AH). MicroRNAs (miRNAs) regulate all of these …
