The mechanisms underlying these CV benefits include promoting myocardial glucose uptake and utilization, reducing oxidative stress, inhibiting cardiomyocyte apoptosis, vasodilation, improving coronary blood flow, natriuresis, anti-inflammatory effects, renal protection, reducing plaque formation, and neurohormonal regulation (22)
The polar and charged residues lining the enzymes binding pocket likely contribute to the formation of an electrostatic environment essential for substrate interaction ( 115 inactivates CHAC1, preventing GSH depletion in vivo ( The molecular mechanism of -glutamyl amino acid degradation by GCT family enzymes is well understood
