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 glucuronic acid conjugates, or âglucuronide conjugatesâ as they are commonly called, are compounds formed by enzyme-catalysed glucuronidation of drug metabolites that contain either a hydroxyl group (ROH â alcohols; PhOH â phenols) or a carboxyl group (RCO2H â acids).
