Glutamate-cysteine ligase (GCL) catalyzes the formation of -glutamylcysteine (gGC) from glutamic acid (Glu) and Cys, followed by glutathione synthetase adding glycine (Gly) to form GSH [19,20,21]
After the treatment, 20 L of the JC-1 solution was added to cells in a well plate
its up to 30% glycine
In agreement with our findings, recent genomic gene expression profiles by microarray analyses in a gene dose-response model of Nrf2-null model have revealed that graded activation of Nrf2 increased the transcription of a large number of genes involved in Nrf2-mediated oxidative stress response, glutathione metabolism, and xenobiotic metabolism, including several genes responsible for the reduction of superoxide ions using GSH, i.e., glutathione peroxidases Gpx2 and Gpx4 , which augmented by 2260 and 105%, respectively, in Keap1-HKO mice compared to WT mice (Wu et al., 2011)
