Minimizing Oxidative Stress in the Lens: Alternative Measures for Elevating Glutathione in the Lens to Protect against Cataract

This review focuses on the following three strategies, which utilize the natural molecular machinery of the lens to enhance GSH and/or antioxidant potential in its different regions: the NRF2 pathway, which regulates the transcription of genes involved in GSH homeostasis; the use of lipid permeable cysteine-based analogues to increase the availability of cysteine for GSH synthesis; and the upregulation of the lens’s internal microcirculation system.

Oxidative Stress in Cataract Formation: Is There a Treatment Approach on the Horizon?

The role of oxidative stress in cataract formation is explored, focusing on critical mechanisms, such as mitochondrial dysfunction, endoplasmic reticulum stress, loss of gap junctions, and various cell death pathways in LECs.

Nutrient-Driven Antioxidant Interventions for Prevention of Age-Related and Diabetic Cataracts

Preclinical evidence on nutritional antioxidants for the prevention of age-related and diabetic cataracts is summarized to support ongoing translational research to maximize the clinical use of antioxidants and highlight their therapeutic potential in the prevention of age-related and diabetic cataracts.

Ferroptosis: a new perspective on the pathogenesis of radiation-induced cataracts

The study of ferroptosis provides new insights into the mechanism and management of radiation-induced cataracts, potentially transforming radiation-induced cataracts from “inevitable” to “preventable and treatable.”

Oxidative Stress in Genetic Cataract Formation

While a relatively small number of antioxidant related genes were identified as being associated with cataracts, they allow the identification of redox pathways important for lens metabolism and homeostasis.

Protective effect of apelin-13 in lens epithelial cells via inhibiting oxidative stress-induced apoptosis

It is demonstrated that apelin-13 can be employed as a potential drug for glaucoma with cataracts to delay the progression of cataracts.

The role of potential oxidative biomarkers in the prognosis of intracerebral hemorrhage and the exploration antioxidants as possible preventive and treatment options

It is found that patients with cerebral hemorrhage are characterized by increased levels of oxidative stress markers, such as total malondialdehyde (MDA), F2 isoprostaglandin, hydroxynonenal, myeloperoxidase and protein hydroxyl, and the changes of oxidative stress caused by ICH on these markers can be used to evaluate and diagnose ICH.

Mangiferin Ameliorates CCl4-Triggered Acute Liver Injury by Inhibiting Inflammatory Response and Oxidative Stress: Involving the Nrf2-ARE Pathway

CCl4 can induce liver injury, while treatment with MGF mitigates ALI by inhibiting oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis, while the protective mechanism of MGF is mediated by the Nrf2-ARE pathway activation.
