glutathione peroxidase activity in oxidative stress (GPx) is induced by Several lines of antioxidant defense

Interestingly, the overexpression of CB 1 Rs in adult mice undergoing experimental demyelination resulted in delayed onset and reduced severity of symptoms, whereas CB 1 R antagonism quickened symptom onset and increased the expression of inflammatory cytokines and NF-B proteins (Lou et al., 2016, 2018)

Without adequate selenium, the antioxidant capacity of the glutathione system is severely compromised, leaving cells vulnerable to oxidative damage

Antioxidants did not prevent muscle damage in response to an ultramarathon run
