The effect of acute alcohol exposure on hepatic oxidative stress and function: prevention by micronutrients
… using the hepG2 cell line model showed that micronutrients involved in glutathione synthesis can protect against hepatocyte damage caused by alcohol metabolism, with reduced reactive oxygen species and increased/maintained glutathione levels. In summary, these results demonstrate that both …

Characterisation of STRO-1 expression on human mesenchymal stem cells and identification of putative cancer stem cells in osteosarcoma: prevention by micronutrients
It is becoming increasingly more common to use culture expanded human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) in regenerative medicine due to their low incidence in vivo. However, their successful application is hampered by a lack of selective markers to positively identify the expanded multipotent cells. …
