Whilst we found that melatonin did not affect the concentration of G6P ( Figure 5H ), it did seem to greatly reduce the amount of F6P present in our cell samples, indicating potentially that the key disruption to this pathway occurred at the step where G6P is converted to F6P ( Figure 5E )
Eliminating intracellular GSH with BSO reduced cell survival in BDG stimulated but not resting monocytes, suggesting a critical role of intracellular GSH in cell survival after an infectious challenge
Thus glutathione is perhaps uniquely positioned to not only provide cellular protection against oxidative and xenobiotic stress, but to also directly regulate cellular activity, including cell cycle control and induction of apoptosis in overly damaged cells
In order to screen for effective CBS inhibitors, the researchers selected 6491 compounds in a natural product library, including compounds isolated from plants and microorganisms, ensuring a wide range of chemical diversity and biological activity
