FIGURE 5 5.3.1 ROS-mediated inhibition of the AMPK pathway and antioxidant defense AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a central regulator of cellular energy sensing and redox homeostasis in skeletal muscle ( 2 O 2 -mediated stimulation of LKB1 or Ca 2+ -dependent CaMKK signaling, as well as through redox-sensitive modifications such as S-glutathionylation ( Activated AMPK promotes antioxidant defense by phosphorylating Nrf2, facilitating its nuclear translocation and transcriptional induction of antioxidant enzymes including superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase, and glutathione peroxidase (GPx)
It's your first line of defense against contamination
Your body responds to these micro-injuries in three phases : Because the epidermis (the outermost layer of skin) remains relatively intact during the procedure, healing time is significantly shorter compared to more aggressive treatments like laser resurfacing or deep chemical peels
In the first reaction, NADPH is consumed by AR, which can result in OxS since NADPH is required for reducing GSSG to GSH (by GR) and GSH is required for the reducing peroxides by the GPX system (see Figure 2)
