The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) utilizes oxidizing environment for the formation of the disulfide bonds required for the folding of proteins into functionally active forms (Malhotra and Kaufman, 2007)
Preclinical observations in animal and cell culture studies have included enhanced cellular migration, increased markers of angiogenesis, and enhanced collagen deposition

The detoxification of xenobiotics and excretion of hydrophilic metabolites is brought about by an initial oxidative step that utilises ROS, followed by conjugation of the intermediate metabolite with glucuronic acid, inorganic sulphur, acetyl groups or GSH via GSH transferases (GST) (70, 154)
Following DNA isolation, unmethylated cytosine nucleotides were converted into uracil with the EZ DNA Methylation-Gold Kit (Zymo Research, Irvine, California)
Herein, we provide evidence that hepatic GSSG accumulation, which was observed in a high-fat diet (HFD)-fed model of NAFLD, rendered hepatocytes susceptible to TNF-induced cell death
