Introduction So what is GGT? GGT stands for Gamma-glutamyl Transferase, it is found on the cell surface that contribute to the extracellular catabolism of glutathione (GSH). The most GGT serum is derived from the liver, but it is also produced in many other tissues. GGT is primarily carried with lipoproteins and albumin in serum. The levels of GGT is determined by various factors such as alcohol intake, body fat content, plasma lipid/ lipoproteins and glucose levels, and also various medications…

(2015). Web. 6 Oct. 2015. This article is about studies done on mice with ulcerative dermatitis, which is being compared to skin picking and trichotillomania in humans. The mice received either N-Acetylcysteine in their drinking water or intranasal glutathione, which healed the mice in 2-4 weeks. Although N-Acetylcysteine took about twice the amount of time to heal the mice as intranasal, it seemed to work better. However, it seems that human patients don’t necessarily react too well. According…

Vinorelbine also known as Navelbine® is an anti-cancer chemotherapy drug. It belongs to a class of chemotherapy drugs called vinca-alkaloids; which can be categorised as spindle poisons1. Vinorelbine and Vindesine are semi-synthetic derivatives from the first generation of vinca-alkaloids; Vinblastine and Vincristine2. These original vinca-alkaloids were derived from dried leaves of the Madagascan periwinkle (vinca rosea) plant1. Madagascar periwinkle is also used in the treatment for diabetes,…

Renal lipid peroxidation product, malondialdehyde (MDA) was measured in renal tissue homogenates by the method described by Ellman (1959), superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity was estimated according to Beauchamp and Fridovich (1971) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activity was measured according to Flohé and Gunzler (1984) using commercially available diagnostic kits from Biodiagnostic Company, Giza, Egypt. Levels of interleukin (IL)-6, IL-10 and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) in…

In this paper, ototoxicity and its effects on hearing and balance will be discussed. Ototoxic drugs can affect different areas of the ear. It can affect anyone no matter the age, race, or gender. Although it is a common cause of hearing loss and balance problems, ototoxicity was not brought to awareness until the 1940s. Two common drugs that are damaging to one’s hearing are medications in the aminoglycoside family and cisplatin. There may be ways of preventing ototoxicity, but in some…

concentrated in these nuts. A handful of cashew nuts a day in the diet would provide enough of these minerals and may help prevent deficiency diseases. Selenium is an important micronutrient, which functions as a co-factor for antioxidant enzymes such as Glutathione peroxidases, one of the most powerful antioxidants in the body. Copper is a cofactor for many vital enzymes, including cytochrome c-oxidase and superoxide dismutase (other minerals function as co-factors for this enzyme are manganese…

1. Neurogenesis and memory 1.1. Neurogenesis in the hippocampus The hippocampus is a brain region that responsible for learning, memory and mood. One of the important reasons for memory and mood dysfunction is the dentate gyrus (DG) reduction [12, 13]. The subventricular zone (SVZ) and the subgranular zone (SGZ) of neural progenitor cells generated neurons and glia in adulthood and during adulthood [14]. Neurogenesis also have a role in mood regulation; the dorsal hippocampus is an…

The proximate composition of purple soymilk (Table 1) is not much different from that of yellow soymilk. Purple soymilk has protein, ash, fat, carbohydrate and moisture content 2.76 ± 0.13, 0.12 ± 0.08, 1.17 ± 0.06, 1.27 ± 0.10, and 94.69 ± 0.04% respectively, while yellow soymilk from Tunde-Akintunde and Souley [35] has a protein content of 2.23-3.05%, ash content of 0.24-0.32%, fat content of 1.60-1.94%, carbohydrate content of 1.99-2.78% and moisture content of 92.02-93.29%.
