    The organic tellurium compound (S)-dimethyl 2-(3-(phenyltellanyl) propanamide) succinate (TeAsp) exhibits thiol-peroxidase activity that could potentially offer protection against oxidative stress. However, data from the literature show that tellurium is a toxic agent to rodents. In...

    We investigated the effects of hypothermia on ROS-induced cell damage in human alveolar type II cells. A549 cells were exposed to H2O2 and cultured at different temperatures, namely, normthermia (37°C), mild hypothermia (34°C), or moderate hypothermia (32°C). Cell damage was measured using variou...

  3. Polysulfides link H2S to protein thiol oxidation.
    Romy Greiner, Zoltan Palinkas, and Tobias P Dick

    Antioxid Redox Signal (2013) PMID 23646934

    Using the lipid phosphatase PTEN as a model protein, we find that the "H2S donor" sodium hydrogen sulfide (NaHS) leads to very rapid reversible oxidation of the enzyme in vitro. We identify polysulfides formed in NaHS solutions as the oxidizing species, and present evidence that sulfane sulfur is ad...
