Pathways such as regulation of peptidase activity, extracellular matrix organization, regulation of protein dephosphorylation, regulation of metal ion transport, and vesicle-mediated transport were enriched in all the comparisons
Furthermore, despite a possible, albeit small, dilution effect resulting from inhalation of hypertonic saline, direct measurement of GSH in induced sputum supernatant avoids the necessity to calculate the sample dilution indirectly by evaluating the volume of the epithelial lining uid, e.g
They are derived from mesoderm and can differentiate into mesodermal bone cells, chondrocytes and adipocytes
Collagen is responsible for making up 1/3 of the proteins in the body
The potential applications of inhaled GSH are numerous when one considers just how many pulmonary diseases and respiratory-related conditions are affected by deficient antioxidant status or an over production of oxidants, poor oxygenation and/or impaired host defenses
