TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a set of guidelines for the selection and interpretation of methods for use by investigators who aim to examine macro-autophagy and related processes, as well as for reviewers who need to provide realistic and reasonable critiques of papers that are focused on these processes.

TL;DR: Glutathione depletion and lipid peroxidation are general phenomena occurring not only in the liver but in all the tissues as a consequence of bromobenzene poisoning.

TL;DR: It is concluded that some form of intracellular oxidation is required during thymocyte apoptosis even when this process is initiated by an agent that does not exert a direct oxidant action.

TL;DR: The prooxidant reactions induced by GSH catabolism appear to represent a novel, as yet unrecognized mechanism for modulation of cellular signal transduction.

TL;DR: Caspase-3 activation can be envisaged as a novel mechanism which, by impairing the maintenance of erythrocyte shape and function, might contribute to the shortened life span of RBCs from patients with type 2 diabetes and to hemorheological disorders observed in these patients.
