Glutathione (GSH) is the primary source of reducing equivalents in most cells, contributes significantly to the cellular redox potential and can control differentiation, proliferation, and apoptosis. Using limb bud micromass cultures from Sprague Dawley rats and New Zealand White rabbits

Cadmium is a heavy metal that accumulates in the body, and its accumulation in the brain damages both neurons and glial cells. In the current study, we explored the mechanism underlying cadmium toxicity in primary cortical astroglia cultures. Chronic treatment
Rat exposure to 60% oxygen (O(2)) for 7 days (hyper-60) or to >95% O(2) for 2 days followed by 24 h in room air (hyper-95R) confers susceptibility or tolerance, respectively, of the otherwise lethal effects of subsequent exposure to 100%

A simple and sensitive method, applicable to quantification of 5-hydroperoxyeicosatetraenoic acid (5-HPETE) produced in cells has been developed using high-performance liquid chromatography on a silica gel column with chemiluminescence detection. 5-HPETE was clearly separated from other positional isomers of HPETEs

Glutathione, comprising a major portion of cellular nonprotein thiols, plays a central role in a diverse group of cell metabolic functions. Glutathione and related enzyme systems have been shown to protect against both toxin and oxidant-induced injury in several organ
