NADP-Dependent Isocitrate Dehydrogenase from Arabidopsis Roots Contributes in the Mechanism of Defence against the Nitro-Oxidative Stress Induced by Salinity by Marina Leterrier, Juan B. Barroso, Raquel Valderrama, José M. Palma, Francisco J. Corpas

“…Plants contain several NADPH-generating dehydrogenases including isocitrate dehydrogenase (NADP-ICDH), glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH), 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (6PGDH), and malic enzyme (ME). In Arabidopsis seedlings grown under salinity conditions (100 mM NaCl) the analysis of physiological parameters, antioxidant enzymes (catalase and superoxide dismutase) and content of superoxide radical (O2  ∙−), nitric oxide (NO), and peroxynitrite (ONOO-) indicates a process of nitro-oxidative stress induced by NaCl. …”

Monascus red pigment influence on hydroxyapatite nanoparticles-mediated renal toxicity in rats by Nasser N. Alqurashy, Mokhtar I. Yousef, Ahmed A. Hussein, Maher A. Kamel, Abeer El Wakil

“…The renal toxicity caused by HANPs was manifested by aberrations in kidney function parameters, intensification of oxidative stress markers, and a decrease in the activity of antioxidant enzymes. Moreover, an increase in inflammatory (TNF-α and TGF-β) and apoptotic (caspace-3) markers, an elevation in gene-based kidney injuries markers (Kim-1 and lipocalin-2), and pathological tissue changes were determined. …”

High interindividual variability of indoxyl sulfate production identified by an oral tryptophan challenge test by Ting-Yun Lin, Wei-Kai Wu, Szu-Chun Hung

“…IS is converted from indole, a metabolite of dietary tryptophan through the action of gut microbial tryptophanase, by two hepatic enzymes: CYP2E1 and SULT1A1. We hypothesized that the effect of tryptophan intake on IS production might differ from person to person. …”

The Active Compound Thymoquinone Alters Chondrogenic Differentiation of Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells via Modulation of Intracellular Signaling by Banu ISKENDER

“…The increase in proinflammatory cytokines in cartilage damage can increase the expression of apoptotic and proinflammatory genes and the matrix degradation enzymes via nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB). Previous evidence suggested that thymoquinone (TQ) suppresses tumor necrosis factor-α-mediated NF-κB activation in different cancer cell lines. …”

The genetic diversity of reed canarygrass (Phalaris arundinaceae L.) assessed by isozyme markers by R. S. Yudina, E. K. Khlestkina

“…In the current study, the genetic diversity of a reed canarygrass collection (42 populations collected in meadow biocenoses of several regions in Russia and some other countries) was investigated using isozyme markers IDH (isocitrate dehydrogenase), GDH (glutamate dehydrogenase), MDH (malate dehydrogenase), ME (malic enzyme), and SKDH (shikimate dehydrogenase). Genetic control of these enzymes was determined in reed canarygrass for the first time. …”
