## Abstract Ethanol induces oxidative stress in cultured fetal rat cortical neurons and this is followed by apoptotic death, which can be prevented by normalization of cell content of reduced glutathione (GSH). Because astrocytes can play a central role in maintenance of neuron GSH homeostasis, the
## Abstract Erythropoietin (Epo) expression, which regulates erythropoiesis, has been shown in rat and mouse brain after hypoxia. A previous study from our laboratory showed that astrocytes from manganeseโsuperoxide dismutase (SOD2) homozygous knockout (SOD2^โ/โ^) mice can survive under 5% O~2~, bu
## Abstract Nitric oxide (NO) contributes to the regulation of osteoblast activities. In this study, we evaluated the protective effects of NO pretreatment on oxidative stressโinduced osteoblast apoptosis and its possible mechanism using neonatal rat calvarial osteoblasts as the experimental model.
## Abstract The cellular defense of Mรผller cells against oxidative and nitrosative stress was examined after the addition of the nitric oxide donor papanonoate. Glucose concentrations of โฅ550 ฮผM efficiently protected the Mรผller cells from cell death by maintaining high ATP and glutathione and allow
