Class-Pi of Glutathione S-Transferases

Class-Pi of glutathione s-transferases (GST-Pi) is the specific form of GSTs that are known to participate particularly in the mechanisms of resistance to drugs and carcinogens. This class of the enzyme is referred to as class-P or class-Pi or class π. The accepted terminology in this review article is class-Pi. In this article following a brief description of identified molecular forms of GSTs...

Effect of phosphorus stress on antioxidant enzyme activities in wheat seedlings (Triticum durum Desf.) under in vitro culture

The study investigates the role of root glutathione (GSH) content and glutathione S-transferase (GST) activity in the response of hard wheat (Triticum durum Desf. variety Carioca) induced by different doses of phosphorus KH2<span style="font-s...

The effect of arsenic and sodium nitroprusside on the physiological responses and antioxidant enzymes activity of Isatis cappadocica

Arsenic (As) stress, through the creation of oxidative stress, can cause phytotoxicity (e.g. The decrease of growth and chlorophyll content) in plants. Nitric oxide (NO), by promotion of the antioxidant system, plays an important role in reducing heavy metal-induced oxidative stress. In this study, the role of exogenously applied sodium nitroprusside (SNP; a NO donor) on physiological responses...

Zataria multiflora Essential oil Prevent Iron Oxide Nanoparticles-induced Liver Toxicity in Rat Model

Over loading of iron oxide nanoparticles can causes the liver injury through overproduction of free radicals. Zataria multiflora Boiss. (Lamiaceae) has been used for many years in folk medicine due to its antioxidant and antibacterial activities. This study evaluates -for the first time- the effect of Z. multiflora essential oil (EO) against iron oxide nanoparticles hepatotoxicity in rat model....
