oxidative metabolism and cellular responses to bacterial invasion‚ xenobiotic and cytokines. To counteract the formation of ROS‚ a number of antioxidant proteins have been described. These proteins are superoxide dismutase‚ catalase‚ glutathione peroxidase‚ glutathione S-transferase‚ and ferritin heavy chain etc. Oxidative stress has been implicated to both the onset and progression of type I and type II diabetes ( ). The consequence of ROS production is associated with the development of

INTRODUCTION The ever increasing population in the world today has led to the mounting of sewage‚ refuse and industrial waste everywhere. This waste has no place where it could be discarded and now it has found its way into the water bodies polluting the water and thereby creating a threat to the marine flora and fauna. In the environment‚ organisms are usually exposed not just to a single pollutant but rather to a mixture of these chemicals. Mumbai is one of the busiest metropolitans in the country

glutamate receptors. Glutamate can have an indirect toxic effect by depleting intracellular glutathione. The cystine-glutamate antiporter transports cystine into the cell and is driven by the movement of glutamate out of the cell. Cystine and glutamate compete to bind to the antiporter so increased levels of glutamate reduce the amount of cystine entering the cell. Cystine is a precursor for intracellular glutathione which has multiple functions within the cell‚ notably protection to the cell from oxidative

Resveratrol is supposed to correct the redox imbalance as in redox status i.e. oxidized (glutathione)/reduced (glutathione). The delicate balance between beneficial and harmful effect of free radicals is a very important aspect of living organisms and is achieved by mechanism called redox regulation (Kroon et al.‚ 2010). The various mechanisms by which an

Objective: The main objective for this lab was to use the Bradford and DC Protein Assay in order to determine our concentration of E. Coli BL21(DE3) lysate. Principle of Methods: To accomplish this objective‚ each pair of lab partners received an E. Coli lysate sample which we had to thaw by warming it with our hands and centrifuge it. We extracted a total of 12 samples with known concentrations of bovine serum albumin and 10 samples of different amounts of lysate put into them. Using the different
