For example, interventions that target specific molecular pathways involved in collagen synthesis, mechanotransduction, or oxidative stress could be developed to enhance ligament resilience and reduce the risk of injury
All these symptoms are interconnected through the bonds of oxidative stress and collagen degradation
"GlyNAC supplementation in older adults improves glutathione deficiency, oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, inflammation, insulin resistance, endothelial dysfunction, genotoxicity, muscle strength, and cognition." Clin Transl Med
To this end, we made use of the genetically encoded fluorescent probes, roGFP2Tsa2C R and Grx1roGFP2, which allow the realtime monitoring of the basal H 2 O 2 level and E GSH , respectively, in specific subcellular compartments (Gutscher et al , 2008
GSH was measured by HPLC (LC-10AT, Shimadzu, Japan) using a WondalSil C18 column (GL Sciences Inc., Japan) and a UV detector (SPD-20A, Shimadzu, Japan) at 210 nm
