It is well established that muscle contractions during exercise lead to elevated levels of
reactive oxygen species (ROS) in skeletal muscle. These highly reactive molecules have …

Cysteine residues in proteins are subject to diverse redox chemistry. Oxidation of cysteine to
S-nitrosocysteine, cysteine sulfenic and sulfinic acids, disulfides and persulfides are a few …

Intense noise exposure causes hearing loss by inducing degeneration of spiral ganglia
neurites that innervate cochlear hair cells. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) …

Quinones are probably found in all respiring animal and plant cells. They are widely used as
anticancer, antibacterial or antimalarial drugs and as fungicides. Toxicity can arise as a …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS)-induced cell damage is inevitable and severe and is
involved in numerous diseases, including cancer. Reducing oxidative stress is one of the …

The overall biological activity of quinones is a function of the physico-chemical properties of
these compounds, which manifest themselves in a critical bimolecular reaction with …

Quinones are among the most frequently used drugs to treat human cancer. All of the
antitumor quinones can undergo reversible enzymatic reduction and oxidation, and form …

Gallic acid (GA) is a naturally abundant plant phenolic compound in the human diet and is
known to reduce the risk of disease. In this study, the anti-obesity effect of GA in an animal …

In the present study, we evaluated the beneficial effect of mulberry extracts (ME), which are
rich in phenolics and anthocyanins, on the induction of antioxidant enzymes and on the …

Oxidative stress broadly impacts cells, initiating regulatory pathways as well as apoptosis
and necrosis. A key molecular event is protein S-glutathionylation, and thioltransferase …
