Icing your rib will help reduce pain and swelling, so that the bruised tissue can heal more quickly. Stick to ice for the first 72 hours after an injury, and resist the urge to break out a heating pad instead. Find a bag of frozen vegetables (like peas or corn), or fill a resealable plastic bag with chipped ice. Wrap the bag of ice in a towel or T-shirt, and lay it over your bruised rib. 3. Take pain medication.
Glutathione conjugation. Glutathione (GSH) plays a key role in detoxification of certain herbicides (e.g. chloroacetanilides, thiocarbamates and s-triazines) in higher plants via the action of glutathione S-transferase(s) (Breaux, 1986; Pickett and Lu, 1989; Rossini et al, 1996; Gronwald and Plaisance, 1998):lutathione S-transferases (GSTs) may also be involved in conjugating electrophiles generated from the reaction of hydroxyl radicals with lipids and DNA, and thus contribute to oxidative stress resistance (Marrs, 1996).
The glutathione peroxidase family consists of 8 known human isoforms. Glutathione peroxidases use glutathione as an electron donor and are active with both hydrogen peroxide and organic hydroperoxide substrates.Gpx1, Gpx2, Gpx3, and Gpx4 have been shown to be selenium-containing enzymes, whereas Gpx6 is a selenoprotein in humans with cysteine-containing homologues in rodents.or many of these enzymes the optimal substrate is hydrogen peroxide, but others are more active with organic hydroperoxides such as lipid peroxides. Peroxidases can contain a heme cofactor in their active sites, or alternately redox-active cysteine or selenocysteine residues.
