    The effects of Trolox on the expression of Nrf2 and its downstream targets. MDBK cells in 60 mm dishes pretreated with Trolox (1 mM) or DMSO control for 1 h are exposed to tBHP in the presence of Trolox or DMSO control for 2 h; the cell lysates are prepared for Western blots to detect the expression of Nrf2 and HO-1.

    Description

    Trolox is an analogue of vitamin E with a powerful antioxidant effect. Trolox is also a powerful inhibitor of membrane damage[1][2].

    In Vitro

    Trolox has shown to protect mammalian cells from oxidative damage. Trolox is effective in preventing myocyte necrosis in cell culture studies and in a canine model of two hours of left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) occlusion followed by four hours of reperfusion[1].
    ? Trolox could prevent oxidative stress-induced apoptosis in thymocytes. Pre- or post-treatment of cells with Trolox reduced H2O2-induced DNA fragmentation to control levels and below. [2].
    ? ? Trolox is a hydrophilic analog of alpha-tocopherol and reported to scavenge peroxyl radicals better than vitamin E in sodium dodecyl sulfate micelles and in liposomes. Trolox prolongs substantially the survival of human ventricular myocytes and hepatocyte against oxyradicals generated with xanthine oxidase plus hypoxanthine, and prevented lysis of red cells exposed to an azo-initiator[3].

    Cell Assay
    [1]

    Thymocytes are treated with Trolox (10 mM) before, during, or after 10 min exposure to 10 μM H2O2. Trolox incubations that are conducted before or after H2O2 exposures are performed in TCM. Trolox treatments that are administered concurrently with H2O2 are performed in PBS with ferrous sulfate[1].

    Help & FAQs
    • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

      Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
