Is serum gamma glutamyltransferase a marker of oxidative stress?
The primary role of cellular gamma glutamyltransferase (GGT) is to metabolize extracellular reduced glutathione (GSH), allowing for precursor amino acids to be assimilated and reutilized for intracellular GSH synthesis. Paradoxically, recent experimental studies indicate that cellular GGT may also be involved in the generation of reactive oxygen species in the presence of iron or other transiti...

متن کاملHead injury: from the Glasgow Coma Scale to quo vadis.
Background Work in the 1940s and 1950s revealed that the brainstem was key to consciousness. The experimental definition of the reticular activating system by Moruzzi and Magoun28 in 1949 was followed by various confirmatory clinical studies.15,38 Studies conducted during World War II and later demonstrated that rotational head injury was more effective than translational acceleration/decelerat...
متن کاملCancer research: quo vadis—to war?
The notion that we should wage all-out war on cancer to break the back of the problem is considered fundamentally untenable because of the inherent nature of the disorder. An alternative is argued on the basis that we can only achieve a greater degree of control through attrition, since only a minority of tumour types might truly be curable in many cases.
