In addition, the effects of H 2 O 2 were studied in HUVECs and, in particular, whether suppressing the expression of the polar protein partitioning defective protein 3 could affect the endothelial barrier function [258]
Oxidative stress induced by mitochondrial and non-mitochondrial ROS and inflammation has been reported as the mechanism underlying insulin resistance ( Excessive ROS production is known to suppress antioxidant defense systems and physical exercise training has been shown to upregulate antioxidant defense mechanisms in several tissues and metabolic disorders ( The drug metabolizing enzymes, cytochrome P450 2E1 and 3A4 were also found to be activated in the liver and kidney of diabetic GK rats

Particular focus is shifted towards the impact of antioxidants, such as NADPH and glutathione, and redox proteins, such as thioredoxin and protein disulfide isomerase, which maintain the disulfide-thiol balance in the cell [37]
Glutathione deficiency may promote cancer initiation (by failing to protect DNA from oxidative damage), while elevated glutathione in established tumors may promote cancer progression and treatment resistance (by protecting cancer cells from chemotherapy and radiation) [2][5]
KPV operates upstream, suppressing the inflammatory signaling that drives the damage
