Glucose oxidase (GOD) is a typical oxidoreductase found in honey and molds such as Penicillium notatum. It can highly specifically catalyze the β-D-glucose reaction to generate gluconic acid, which has the function of converting glucose and removing oxygen. Since GOD can quantitatively generate hydrogen peroxide, it is widely used in the field of biochemistry and clinical examination as a ...
We examined the effect of X-irradiation (0, 0.25, 0.5 or 1.0 Gy) on the onset of the type I diabetes (insulin dependent diabetes mellitus) in non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice. NOD mice are characterised by a progressive loss of insulin-producing β-cells in the pancreas by autoimmune mechanisms. The destruction of β-cells is known to be due to apoptosis induced by oxidative stress caused by ROS. In ...
