Sentences with phrase «redox balance»

Consumption of nopal cactus fruit positively affects the body's redox balance, decreases oxidative damage to lipids, and improves antioxidant status in healthy humans

The cellular redox balance must be tightly regulated by several (enzymatic) antioxidants and dietary antioxidants; however, in case of chronic inflammation, the antioxidant system may be depleted and prolonged oxidative stress occurs.

4 - The Redox is at the heart of it all, as lipid peroxidation load drops redox balance is greatly affected, meaning a cell redox state of little oxidative stress and inflammatory gene activation (by absence of lipid peroxidation after lipid remodeling).

Conversely, antioxidant treatment in healthy conditions where the offspring vascular physiology is already replenished with an appropriate redox balance may, in fact, lead to excess NO bioavailability, tipping the balance in the opposite direction.

The regulatory system to control redox balance involves sugar - dependent gene regulation and protein phosphorylation.

Without dynamic control of redox balance animals lose their ability to survive on sugar - rich food.

They add, that «by identifying and characterizing LMIT1 as a mitochondrial iron importer, we established a direct connection between iron uptake, mitochondrial redox balance and the development of virulence in Leishmania, significantly expanding future options for controlling these serious human infections.»

«Safe utilization of dietary sugars requires dynamic control of redox balance.»

The system how the redox balance is controlled in response to changes of sugar feeding has so far been insufficiently understood.
