In this review, we summarize the multiple functions of NQO1, its established roles in redox
processes and potential roles in redox control that are currently emerging. NQO1 has …

NAD (P) H: quinone acceptor oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1) is a widely-distributed FAD-
dependent flavoprotein that promotes obligatory 2-electron reductions of quinones …

Coenzyme Q (CoQ) is present in all cells and membranes and in addition to be a member of
the mitochondrial respiratory chain it has also several other functions of great importance for …

Oxidative stress causes damage to multiple cellular components such as DNA, proteins, and
lipids, and is implicated in various human diseases including cancer, neurodegeneration …

Cellular protection against oxidative and electrophile toxicities is provided by two types of
small‐molecule antioxidants:(i) direct antioxidants, which are redox active, short‐lived, are …

Coenzyme Q10 is an essential cofactor of the electron transport chain as well as a potent
free radical scavenger in lipid and mitochondrial membranes. Feeding with coenzyme Q10 …

NAD (P) H: quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1) is an obligate two-electron reductase that is
involved in chemoprotection and can also bioactivate certain antitumor quinones. This …

ABSTRACT Cr (VI)(chromate) is a toxic, soluble environmental contaminant. Bacteria can
reduce chromate to the insoluble and less toxic Cr (III), and thus chromate bioremediation is …

NAD (P) H: quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1) is a key enzyme involved in defence against
reactive forms of oxygen and inhibition of neoplasia. Under conditions of oxidative stress …

Transcription factor NF-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) belongs to the basic region-leucine zipper
family and is activated in response to electrophiles and reactive oxygen species. Nrf2 …
