Paraquat (PQ) is a widely used herbicide which can cause high mortality to humans. However, relatively few studies focus on metabolic feature of PQ intoxication for investigating the underlying mechanisms. Here we performed non-targeted metabolomics profiling of serum samples from

Tryptophan-derived indole compounds have been widely investigated as antioxidants and as free-radical scavengers. Indole-3-propionic acid (IPA), one of these compounds, is a deamination product of tryptophan. In the present study, we used Mongolian gerbils to investigate IPA's neuroprotective effects against

Aging is a multi-factorial process, however, it is generally accepted that reactive oxygen species (ROS) are significant contributors. Mitochondria are important players in the aging process because they produce most of the cellular ROS. Despite the strength of the free-radical

The antirepressor indole 3-propanoate has been shown by X-ray crystallography to bind in a different orientation compared with the natural corepressor for the tryp repressor, L-tryptophan (Lawson, C.L. & Sigler, P. B. (1988) Nature 333, 869-871). This suggests a simple

Excessive free iron and the associated oxidative damage are commonly related to carcinogenesis. Among the antioxidants known to protect against iron-induced oxidative abuse and carcinogenesis, melatonin and other indole compounds recently have received considerable attention.
