The destructive pathologic and biochemical consequences of methyl mercury have been extensively described. Relatively little is known, however, about the defensive mechanisms neurons employ to protect themselves against mercurial injury.…
Oxidative stress has been proposed as a possible pathogenic factor for diabetic complications. It is relevant in determining cell replicative capacity and life span, and in vitro antioxidant treatment is…
Objective: Hyperglycemia is considered a primary cause of diabetic vascular complications and is associated with oxidative stress, impaired trace element and lipid metabolism as well as pancreatic enzyme abnormalities. The…
To evaluate the relationship between oxidative stress and glucose metabolism, insulin sensitivity and intraerythrocytic reduced glutathione (GSH)/oxidized glutathione (GSSG) ratio were measured in 10 non- insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) patients…
