## Abstract The oxysterol 7betaβhydroxycholesterol (7Ξ²βOH) has been shown to induce apoptosis in a number of cell lines. Though not fully elucidated, the mechanism through which this oxysterol induces cell death is thought to involve the generation of an oxidative stress leading to perturbation of
## Abstract Methylglyoxal (MG) is a reactive dicarbonyl compound endogenously produced mainly from glycolytic intermediates. Elevated MG levels in diabetes patients are believed to contribute to diabetic complications. MG is cytotoxic through induction of apoptosis. Curcumin, the yellow pigment of
The mechanisms involved in the anti-carcinogenic activity of selenium remain to be elucidated. In the present study, we examined sodium selenite-induced oxidative stress and apoptosis in a human hepatoma cell line (HepG 2 ). Sodium selenite (10 M) exerted clear cytotoxic effect, as shown by the sign
