...vitamin C (ascorbic acid) and glutathione, and the enzyme superoxide dismutase, increases on arousal from hibernation. Neutralizing compounds are ‘scavengers’ of lone electrons present in superoxide and hydroxyl free radicals, whilst an increase in the activity of superoxide dismutase results in the conversion of all the superoxide to hydrogen peroxide and hence...

...vitamin D. Although the ligands differ in their structural type, all nuclear receptors are structurally similar. They are good examples of receptors with intrinsic transcriptional activity (Section 1.3), comprising a transcription-activating domain, a DNA-binding domain and a ligand-binding domain. Their ligands are all small and hydrophobic, and so they can diffuse...
