Inhibition of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) gene expression by troglitazone: a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPARgamma)-independent, antioxidant-related mechanismG F Davies
Department of Biochemistry, University of Saskatchewan, 107 Wiggins Road, Saskatchewan S7N 5E5, Saskatoon, Canada
Biochem Pharmacol 62:1071-9. 2001..These observations support the conclusion that troglitazone inhibits the expression of the PEPCK gene by a PPARgamma-independent, antioxidant-related mechanism...
Promoting glutathione synthesis after spinal cord trauma decreases secondary damage and promotes retention of functionH Kamencic
Department of Anatomy, University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, SK, Canada
FASEB J 15:243-250. 2001..3, and 12.9). We conclude that administration of OTC after spinal cord trauma greatly decreases oxidative stress and allows tissue preservation, thereby enabling otherwise paraplegic animals to locomote...
The impaired glutathione system and its up-regulation by sulforaphane in vascular smooth muscle cells from spontaneously hypertensive ratsL Wu
Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology, College of Medicine, University of Saskatchewan, 107 Wiggins Road, Saskatoon, SK, Canada S7N 5E5
J Hypertens 19:1819-25. 2001..We conclude that SHR SMCs experience greater oxidative stress than WKY SMCs and that malfunction of the GSH system contributes to the enhanced oxidative stress in SHR SMCs...
Sulfur amino acid deficiency depresses brain glutathione concentrationP G Paterson
College of Pharmacy and Nutrition, Cameco Multiple Sclerosis and Neuroscience Research Center, University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, Canada
Nutr Neurosci 4:213-22. 2001..The depletion of brain GSH by a reduced supply of dietary precursors may be important during brain ischemia when the rate of GSH utilization and the need for synthesis are increased...
Memory and survival after microbeam radiation therapyElisabeth Schultke
University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, 107 Wiggins Road, Saskatoon, SK S7N 5E5, Canada
Eur J Radiol 68:S142-6. 2008..Experiments in small animal models of malignant brain tumour using synchrotron-based microbeam radiation therapy (MRT) have shown a promising prolongation of survival times...

Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology, College of Medicine, University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, SK, Canada
Diabetologia 44:2004-12. 2001..This inhibition of the glyoxalase system could contribute to troglitazone's hepatotoxic action which has previously been reported in a small percentage of individuals...

Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology, University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, Canada
Glia 49:588-93. 2005..We conclude that Bergmann glia and a subpopulation of astrocytes throughout the CNS express activated caspase 3 in nuclei to fulfill a yet-to-be defined non-apoptotic function. GLIA...
