Abstract

The Nutritional Assessment computer program is intended to assist dentists and other health professionals with an evaluation of an individual's nutritional intake by identifying intake inadequacies, excesses, or imbalances. The assessment is not intended as a substitute for a visit to the appropriate health professional. An assessment report shows if an individual is selecting appropriate foods to meet dietary guidelines or could benefit from diet counselling.

Molecular orbital study on the glutathione-dependent detoxication of ozonides.

The present paper describes a theoretical study on the mechanism underlying the reaction of cellular glutathione (GSH) with polyunsaturated fatty acid ozonides. The reaction can be catalyzed by glutathione S-transferases and leads to detoxication of the ozonides. Semi-empirical molecular orbital computer calculations suggest that the reaction of glutathione with ozonides involves a nucleophilic attack at one of the carbon atoms of the ozonide ring, instead of at one of the peroxidic oxygen atoms of the ozonide ring. This implies a mechanism different from that of the glutathione S-transferase-mediated reaction with hydroperoxides, previously proposed for the glutathione-dependent detoxication of fatty acid ozonides.
