Tyrosine as important contributor to the antioxidant capacity of seminal plasma.

Abstract:

:A novel post-addition method, based on the trapping of ABTS-radicals, is applied for studying the total antioxidant capacity of seminal plasma. A remarkable profile is observed, in which seminal plasma quenches radicals in a continuous, relatively slow fashion. Five putative antioxidants present in seminal plasma were studied using the same assay. Some of the compounds such as ascorbic acid, alpha-tocopherol and uric acid exert immediate, fast radical trapping, whereas hypotaurine and tyrosine give rise to the same slow radical trapping curve as seminal plasma. Due to this slow, continuous radical trapping, quantification of the total antioxidant capacity (expressed as trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity, TEAC) strongly depends on the chosen time point after onset of radical trapping. When determined during the slow antioxidant trapping phase, tyrosine has a powerful antioxidant capacity, which in combination with its relatively high plasma concentration makes it an important contributor to the total antioxidant capacity of seminal plasma.

  • In vitro glutathione peroxidase mimicry of ebselen is linked to its oxidation of critical thiols on key cerebral suphydryl proteins - A novel component of its GPx-mimic antioxidant mechanism emerging from its thiol-modulated toxicology and pharmacology.

    abstract::The antioxidant mechanism of ebselen in rats brain is largely linked with its glutathione peroxidase (GPx) rather than its peroxiredoxin mimicry ability. However, the precise molecular dynamics between the GPx-mimicry of ebselen and thiol utilization is yet to be fully clarified and thus still open. Herein, we investi...
