1. A survey of known effects of oxidized thiols on enzyme activity reveals a potential concerted action on metabolic pathways determining an impairment of anabolic reduction processes and an activation of the oxidative arm of the hexose monophosphate shunt. Thus it appears that, following oxidative stress, the increase of disulphides may act in restoring a reduced state in the cell by specifically channelling the metabolic energy flux.
