Biology of ageing and role of dietary antioxidants

This 2014 review examines the role of dietary antioxidants in the aging process. It highlights that while oxygen is essential for aerobic organisms, it also leads to the continuous generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which are implicated in aging. The body’s antioxidant defense system, comprising enzymes like superoxide dismutase

The role of glutathione reductase and related enzymes on cellular redox homoeostasis network

This systematic review examines the role of glutathione reductase (GR) in maintaining cellular redox homeostasis, focusing on its crucial function in regenerating reduced glutathione (GSH), a major antioxidant. The review highlights how GR, in combination with other antioxidant enzymes, regulates reactive oxygen species (ROS) and oxidative stress responses. Differences in
