Glucose and alcohol exert different effects on reactive oxygen species
May 31st, 2004
Glucose and alcohol exert differential effects on reactive oxygen species generation and intranuclear nuclear factor-kappa B in mononuclear cells. "It has previously been shown that oral intake of 300 calories of glucose (75 g), lipid, or protein increases reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation by polymorphonuclear cells (PMNL) and mononuclear cells (MNCs). We investigated the effects of 75 g glucose on proinflammatory transcription factor, nuclear factor-kappaB (NFkappaB), in mononuclear cells," scientists in the United States report. "To further investigate whether the effects of macronutrient-induced oxidative stress are due to consumption of...
