Glutathione in human plasma: decline in association with aging, age-related macular degeneration, and diabetes
Under oxidative stress and induced by excessive ROS generation, Nrf2 is released from its inhibitor Keap1, allowing its translocation into the nucleus (Kasprzak et al., 2020), where it binds to the antioxidant response element (ARE) present in the DNA sequence of numerous antioxidant enzymes like glutathione-S-transferase, -glutamyl cysteine synthetase (glutamate cysteine ligase), heme oxygenase 1, and paraoxonase-1 inducing their transcription, managing the phase II response to oxidative stress (Kasprzak et al., 2020)
It is likely that the larger number of statistically significant changes to the microbiome observed in the groups switched from WD to LD reflects their more numerous exposures to different diets, longitudinal changes in dietary exposure, the stress associated with diet switch, the negative energy state achieved by treatment and/or diet-driven weight loss, or a combination of these factors, but it may also be related to differences in terminal body weight and fat mass since both adiposity and diet composition have been shown to modulate the mouse gut microbiome profile
