The GSH/glutaredoxin (GRX) system is involved in the redox regulation of certain enzyme
activities, and this system protects cells from H 2 O 2-induced apoptosis by regulating the
redox state of Akt (Murata, H., Ihara, Y., Nakamura, H., Yodoi, J., Sumikawa, K., and Kondo,
T.(2003) J. Biol. Chem. 278, 50226–50233). Estrogens, such as 17β-estradiol (E 2), play an
important role in development, growth, and differentiation and appear to have protective
effects on oxidative stress mediated by estrogen receptor α (ERα). However, the role of the …
