Rapid communication: mapping of the glutathione-peroxidase-5 (GPX5) gene to pig chromosome 7.
Source and Description of Primers. Primers (Set A) were designed based on a porcine glutathioneperoxidase5 (GPX5) genecDNAsequence available in the GenBank (#D37916). Using porcine genomic DNA as a template in the PCR, these primers amplified either a 2.9kb or a 2.4-kb fragment. Set B and Set C primers were designed based on the pig DNA sequence generated using Set A primers.
متن کاملExpression of extracellular glutathione peroxidase in human and mouse gastrointestinal tract.
Extracellular glutathione peroxidase (EGPx) is a glycosylated selenoprotein capable of reducing hydrogen peroxide, organic hydroperoxides, free fatty acid hydroperoxides, and phosphatidylcholine hydroperoxides. We found that human large intestinal explant cultures synthesize EGPx and cellular glutathione peroxidase (CGPx) and secrete EGPx. The level of EGPx mRNA expression relative to α-tubulin...
متن کاملP-17: Expression of Cell Surface Toll-Like Receptors in the Human Male Reproductive Tract
Background: Male infertility refers to the inability of a male to achieve a pregnancy in a fertile female. The root of many causes of infertility is miscommunication between immune and reproductive system. Male reproductive system is very sensitive and vulnerable, infections can hinder maturation and movement of spermatozoa lead to impaired fertility.All species need an immediate reply to the m...
متن کاملTHE EFECT OF DICHLOROACETATE AND ENDURANCE TRAINING ON THE GENES EXPRESSION OF SUPEROXIDE DISMUTASE (SOD) AND GLUTATHIONE PEROXIDASE (GPX) IN CARDIAC MUSCLE OF DIABETIC MALE RATS
Background: Oxidative stress plays a key role in the onset and development of diabetes Complications, Including diabetic cardiomyopathy. The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of dichloroacetate (DCA) on SOD and GPX expression following six weeks’ endurance training in cardiac muscle of diabetic male rats. Methods: In this experimental study, 64 male Wistar rats were selected an...
متن کاملGpx5 protects the family jewels.
Immature spermatozoa are vulnerable to oxidative stress after their release from the testes, due in part to an innate deficiency in antioxidant enzymes. The male reproductive tract compensates for this deficiency by secreting antioxidant enzymes such as glutathione peroxidase 5 (Gpx5) into the epididymal lumen. In this issue of the JCI, Chabory et al. examined the phenotype of Gpx5-/- mice and ...
