| dc.description.abstract | Incubation of murine peritoneal macrophages with 7β hydroxycholesterol (7 β -OH) for 24 hr led to dose-dependent reduction in cellular glutathione content as well as nitrite levels in the medium. Treatment with an inorganic form of selenium, sodium selenite which is a potent antioxidant, elevated the cellular glutathione levels and decreased nitrite levels. Our results suggest that 7 β -OH may exert its pro-atherogenic effect by inhibiting glutathione synthesis and nitric oxide production by macrophages present in the arterial wall and thus, impair the cellular antioxidant defense system | en_US |
