Ultimately, this FOXO4-DRI-mediated mechanism selectively eliminates senescent endothelial cells, which in turn attenuates vascular inflammation and improves endothelial-dependent vasodilation, conferring a significant protective effect on vascular function
In Phase 2 detoxification, various enzymes act directly on the toxic substances partially degraded and processed in Phase 1, such as heavy metals and organo-toxins, by binding them with protective compounds, thereby either inactivating the toxins
However, treatment should always be conducted under medical supervision to ensure proper administration and monitoring
Sensitive and accurate: linear detection range 0.4 - 100 M in 96-well plate Simple and convenient: mix the DTNB reagent with sample, remove protein precipitates for proteinaceous samples, add a second reagent and read the optical density Low interference: amino acids and common buffers do not interfere Direct assays: reduced glutathione in whole blood, plasma, serum, urine, tissue and cell extracts Drug discovery/pharmacology: effects of drugs on glutathione metabolism Note: The below protocol is a sample protocol
