## Abstract Free radicals are byβproducts of metabolism and exist in a homeostasis between generation and scavenging __in vivo__. Excessive free radicals cause various diseases, including nervous system diseases. Neuroglobin (Ngb), a nervous systemβspecific oxygenβbinding protein, has been suggeste
## Abstract Neuronal defense against free radicals is mediated primarily by the glutathione system. A cerebral defect of this system gives rise to the oxidative stress occurring in some neurological diseases. Glutathione provides a means of regulating protein function by glutathionylation, consisti
Ten-day-old rat pups were given quinalphos (QP, 0.5 mg kg Ψ1 ) orally up to postnatal days (PND) 21 or 45. A group of rats exposed to QP was withdrawn from the treatment at PND 21 and was killed at PND 45 for the withdrawal study. Acetylcholinesterase decreased in the brain and blood after QP exposu
Congenital heart disease (CHD) is among the most prevalent and fatal of all birth defects. Deciphering its causes, however, is complicated, as many patients affected by CHD have no family history of the disease. There is also widespread heterogeneity of cardiac malformations within affected individu
