Hemoglobin as a peroxidase and drug target for oxidative stress-related diseases
2024-05-22
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Summary paragraph</h4> Hemoglobin (Hb) is well-known for transporting oxygen in red blood cells within blood vessels 1 . Although Hb is also present in the brain 2 , its role remains poorly understood. Here, we show that Hb, found in astrocytes of neurodegenerative animal models and patients, displays significant antioxidant effects through its H 2 O 2 -decomposing peroxidase activity, and a small molecul...
