pylori could colonize gastric epithelial cells due to its main components enabling it to survive in an acidic stomach environment and attach to host cells through the interaction of microbial adhesins with host cell receptors through flagellate-mediated motility
The difference in free energy, of electron flow through complexes I and II, accounts for the fact that a pair of electrons originating from NADH and passing to oxygen supports production of 2.5 (more commonly reported as 3) equivalents of ATP, while two electrons from FADH 2 (at complex II) support the production of only 1.5 (more commonly reported as 2) equivalents of ATP
The GSH concentration in the plasma is maintained at very low level due to its uptake by other cells
Antioxidants like glutathione & vitamin C, vitamin E, carotenoids, and flavonoids can act as natural chelating agents
1c) and preliminary mutational studies on Tyr110 show indeed similar effects to Lys105 (Supplementary Figs 18 and 19)
Low glutathione levels have been linked with higher risks of cancer, Type 2 diabetes, hepatitis, and Parkinsons disease
