The discoveries leading to our present understanding of the glutathione peroxidases (GPxs)
are recalled. The cytosolic GPx, now GPx1, was first described by Mills in 1957 and claimed …

Peroxiredoxins (Prxs) are a ubiquitous family of cysteine-dependent peroxidase enzymes
that play dominant roles in regulating peroxide levels within cells. These enzymes, often …

Diabetes is one of the metabolic diseases marked by hyperglycemia and is often
accompanied by the occurrence of some complications. As a biomarker of oxidative stress …

Optical and photonic technologies play an important role in human progress. The bending of
light to our will has not only enabled our biological self-discovery, but has also allowed us to …

Ischemic stroke is the leading cause of immortal disability and death worldwide. For
treatment in the acute phase, it is necessary to control excessive reactive oxygen species …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are chemically reactive molecules that are naturally
produced within biological systems. Research has focused extensively on revealing the …

Antioxidant supplements are commonly consumed by endurance athletes to minimize
exercise-induced oxidative stress, with the intention of enhancing recovery and improving …

The production of ROS (reactive oxygen species) by mammalian mitochondria is important
because it underlies oxidative damage in many pathologies and contributes to retrograde …

In the mammalian central nervous system, reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation is
counterbalanced by antioxidant defenses. When large amounts of ROS accumulate …

A common need for microbial cells is the ability to respond to potentially toxic environmental
insults. Here we review the progress in understanding the response of the yeast …
