“ BITC reduced the phosphorylation of protein kinase B (AKT/PKB) and FOXO1; promoted FOXO1 translocation from cytoplasm into the nucleus antagonizing the insulin effect; was able to down-regulate the gene and protein expression of gluconeogenic enzymes; and induced the gene expression of antioxidant and detoxification enzymes.”
“Viability loss in cells exposed to MMC was decreased by inhibitors of caspase-3, -8 and -9 and attenuated by antioxidants (N-acetylcysteine, dithiothreitol, ascorbate and rutin).”

“Using E.coli bacteria (AB 1157) and leukemia cells (HL 60) as a model for in vitro studies it was established that the efficiency of mitomycin C (MMC) can be influenced in the presence of antioxidant vitamins.”
“Finally, MMC exposure induced oxidative stress by altering the antioxidant status of the liver and downregulating the mRNA expression of superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, and glutathione S-reductase.”
