Glutathione S-Transferase Regulates Mitochondrial Populations in Axons through Increased Glutathione Oxidation

Estrogen receptor 1, glutathione S-transferase P1, glutathione S-transferase M1, and glutathione S-transferase T1 genes with dysmenorrhea in Korean female adolescents.

BACKGROUND Dysmenorrhea is the most common gynecologic complaint among adolescent females. We investigated the association between genetic polymorphisms and dysmenorrhea. METHODS A total of 202 postmenarcheal Korean female adolescents 16-17 yr old participated in this study. Genotyping for glutathione S-transferase mu 1 (GSTM1), glutathione S-transferase theta 1 (GSTT1), glutathione S-transfe...

Expression of glutathione, glutathione peroxidase and glutathione S-transferase pi in canine mammary tumors

BACKGROUND Glutathione (GSH) is one of the most important agents of the antioxidant defense system of the cell because, in conjunction with the enzymes glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and glutathione S transferase pi (GSTpi), it plays a central role in the detoxification and biotransformation of chemotherapeutic drugs. This study evaluated the expression of GSH and the GSH-Px and GSTpi enzymes ...

Expression of cytochrome P450 and glutathione S-transferase in human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells

Currently several studies are being carried out on various properties of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs)however there are a few investigations about drug metabolizing properties of these cells. The aim of thisstudy was to measure the key factors involved in drug metabolism in human bone marrow MSCs. For thispurpose, cellular glutathione (GSH), glutathione Stransferase (GSTs) and...

Cellular Immune Responses in Sheep against Glutathione S-transferase of Fasciola gigantica

Isolation of glutathione-S-transferase inhibitors.

doxorubicin8). Inhibitors of this enzyme, ethacrynic acid and piriprost are already known and their potential therapeutic utility in combination with alkylating agents has been suggested by Tew and his colleagues9). Our group has been screening for novel inhibitors of glutathione S-transferase from microbial origin and we recently isolated tryptophandehydrobutyrine diketopiperazine10) (TDD) and...
