Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleEffects of Two Different Dose Levels of Irradiation on Thioredoxin Reductase in the Kidney of Guinea PigsNedret Kılıc, Yildiz Guney, Ayse Hıcsonmez et al.It is aimed to examine the state of the oxidant-antioxidant system in the liver of guinea pig caused by ionizing radiation at two different dose levels in the early period. The research was carried out on guinea pigs irradiated with the doses of 8 Gy (group 2) or 15 Gy (group 3) (single dose/whole body) in comparison with control group … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 6,786 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsNutritional control of HIV-AIDS-A case for SeleniumParisa Kalantari, Hema Vunta, Umamaheswari D. Palempalli et al.Selenium (Se) is a micronutrient that is incorporated into proteins. Some of the selenoenzymes such as GPXs and thioredoxin reductases exhibit glutathione peroxidase-dependent activities towards organic and inorganic peroxides. Thus, selenoenzymes play a pivotal role in mitigating oxidative stress caused by accumulation of peroxides. In this respect, selenoproteins may interfere with the transcription-driven by oxidative stress-dependent signaling mechanisms to influence … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,344 accessesView PDF Cite
