1 9013121 Diabetes or experimental galactosemia of 2 months duration significantly decreased the activities of glutathione reductase and glutathione peroxidase in the retina while having no effect on the glutathione synthesizing enzymes glutathione synthetase and gamma-glutamyl cysteine synthetase.
2 9013121 Activities of two other important antioxidant defense enzymes-superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase-also were decreased (by more than 25%) in retinas of diabetic rats and galactosemic rats.
3 9013121 In experimentally galactosemic rats, the supplemental antioxidants were not as effective: SOD activity was normalized, but the enzymes of the glutathione redox cycle were only partly restored, and the subnormal catalase activity was unaffected.
4 14988435 The synthesis of GSH from glutamate, cysteine, and glycine is catalyzed sequentially by two cytosolic enzymes, gamma-glutamylcysteine synthetase and GSH synthetase.
5 16136216 Oral administration of C. fenestratum stem extract in graded doses caused a significant increase in enzymatic antioxidants such as catalase, superoxide dismutase, glutathione synthetase, peroxidase, and glutathione peroxidase and in the nonenzymatic antioxidants ascorbic acid, ceruloplasmin and tocopherol.
6 16136216 Effects of alcoholic extract on glycolytic enzymes such as glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, lactate dehydrogenase and hexokinase showed a significant increase in their levels, whereas a significant decrease was observed in the levels of gluconeogenic enzyme, glucose-6-phosphatase and alanine aminotransferase in treated diabetic rats.
7 18158646 It is formed in a two-step enzymatic process including, first, the formation of gamma-glutamylcysteine from glutamate and cysteine, by the activity of the gamma-glutamylcysteine synthetase; and second, the formation of GSH by the activity of GSH synthetase which uses gamma-glutamylcysteine and glycine as substrates.
