Glutathione: antioxidant and cell function regulator
The oxidation–reduction (redox) state of the pool of cellular thiols plays a central role in antioxidant defence and in the regulation of a large number of signal transduction pathways and…

Aging is associated with reduced IL-2 production and T cell proliferation. Vitamin E supplementation, in aged animals and humans, increases cell division and IL-2 production by naive T cells. The…
Aging is associated with a decline in immune function (immunosenescence), a situation known to correlate with increased incidence of cancer, infectious and degenerative diseases. Innate, cellular and humoral immunity all…
The inflammatory response to injury and infection, although an essential part of immune function, carries the risk of severe tissue depletion and immunosuppression. These outcomes increase morbidity and delay recovery.…
