Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) not only functions as a central glycolytic enzyme but also is implicated in the process of apoptosis and gene transcription moving between the cytosol and nucleus. Oxidative stress modifies the activity of GAPDH.The aim of the study was to determine whether oxidative stress (OS) in diabetics is associated with induction of the apoptotic process and higher GAPDH translocation to the nucleus in PBMCs.<p ...
