“In all cell lines tested, decreases in cellular GSH content and GR activity as well as an increase in oxidized glutathione (GSSG) were found after incubation of cells with zinc chloride.”
“It is our hypothesis that up-regulation of neuroprotective effectors GSH , ERK and BDNF) may be related to the antidepressant properties of zinc , but this will require additional work to be confirmed.”
“ Zinc chloride inhibited 78.2% of ecto-phosphatase activity, with Ki of 0.35 mM. Such inhibition was reversed by incubation with cysteine and GSH , but not DTT, serine, and GSSG, showing that cysteine residues are important for enzymatic activity.”
