Aims: Cystathionine b-synthase (CBS) catalyzes the first and rate-limiting step in the two-step trans-sulfuration pathway that converts homocysteine to cysteine. It is also one of three major enzymes responsible for the biogenesis of H2S, a signaling molecule. We have previously demonstrated that CBS is activated in cells challenged by oxidative stress, but the underlying molecular mechanism of...

Oxidative stress is a mechanism underlying different kinds of infertility in human males. However, different results can be observed in relation to the method used for its evaluation. Varicocele patients show a number of biochemical abnormalities, including an altered distribution of coenzyme Q between seminal plasma and sperm cells and also an apparent defect in the utilization of antioxidants...

C/EBPδ (CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein δ) is a member of the C/EBP family of nuclear proteins that function in the control of cell growth, survival, differentiation and apoptosis. We previously demonstrated that C/EBPδ gene transcription is highly induced in G0 growth-arrested mammary epithelial cells but the C/EBPδ protein exhibits a t1⁄2 of only ∼120 min. The goal of the present study was to ...

Abstract: Background: Hepato-Renal impairment refers to renal dysfunction in a liver compromised state concerning lead metal exposure. Natural chelators (marine source) have potent chelating properties claiming ameliorate hepato-renal heavy toxicity Material and Methods: A total of 42 male albino Wistar rats weighing between 200 250 g were categorised into seven groups (n=6). Except for the fir...
