Glutathione revisited: a better scavenger than previously thought
Glutathione (GSH) is the classical example of a scavenging antioxidant. It forms the first line of defense and efficiently scavenges reactive species, e.g., hypochlorous acid (HOCl), before they inflict damage to biomolecules. Scavenging antioxidant activity is best established in competition assays (that closely mimics molecular mechanism of the biological effect). In this type of assay, the a...
متن کاملFewer orphans than previously thought?
The editors of IJE have commented on the surprising number of papers in their journal and other journals that fail to be cited even once. According to their most recent calculations, 17% of papers in IJE and 40% of those in Epidemiology achieve no recognition in the scientific literature. These numbers do not seem very plausible, so I decided to check. Using the most recent data available from ...
متن کاملHistoplasma capsulatum: More Widespread than Previously Thought
Histoplasmosis is an endemic mycosis caused by a dimorphic fungus with two distinct varieties pathogenic for humans: Histoplasma capsulatum var. capsulatum and H. capsulatum var. duboisii. The latter is known to be restricted to sub-Saharan Africa, whereas the former is distributed worldwide. However, general textbooks of medical mycology when considering the geographic distribution of H. capsu...
متن کاملMycobacterium microti: more widespread than previously thought.
Mycobacterium microti typically causes disease in voles, wood mice, and shrews (6). Only rarely has this bacterium been isolated from other animals, among which are a llama, cats, pigs, a rock hyrax, and a ferret (2, 4, 5). Recently, M. microti isolates from different sources were characterized by using novel genetic markers (5), and this study for the first time disclosed four cases of M. micr...
متن کاملMycobacterium microti: More diverse than previously thought.
Mycobacterium microti is a member of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex of bacteria. This species was originally identified as a pathogen of small rodents and shrews and was associated with limited diversity and a much reduced spoligotype pattern. More recently, specific deletions of chromosomal DNA have been shown to define this group of organisms, which can be identified by the absence of...
