The present study was undertaken to evaluate the neurotoxic effects of the organophosphate, phosphamidon, on glutathione-S-transferase (GST) activity and concentration of sulphhydryl groups, and to study the possible protection against these effects by the simultaneous administration of the antioxidant, acetylhomocysteine
G Papaccio et al.
Journal of cellular biochemistry, 71(4), 479-490 (1998-11-25)
This study showed that citiolone (CIT), a free radical scavenger, significantly increased superoxide dismutase (P < 0.001 vs. untreated NOD, NMMA-treated, and silica-treated animals), catalase (P < 0.01 vs. untreated NOD), and glutathione peroxidase (P < 0.001 vs. untreated NOD

Journal of photochemistry and photobiology. B, Biology, 40(1), 84-90 (1997-08-01)
The sensitivity of human dermal fibroblasts to UVA radiation has been linked to a decrease in intracellular glutathione (GSH) levels. GSH (gamma-glutamyl-cysteinyl-glycine) is a radical scavenger and a cofactor for protective enzymes such as selenium-dependent GSH peroxidases. In this study
