In patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer, subcutaneous amifostine (1000 mg), together with hematopoietic growth factors, may have contributed to a decrease in observed toxicity of combination therapy with docetaxel, gemcitabine, and liposomal doxorubicin (Patlakas 2005)
Therefore, maintaining a precisely controlled level of ROS is crucial, as overproduction could disrupt plant defense/tolerance responses and lead to direct and serious damage to cells
Another study pointed out that pretreatment with 100 mg/kg NAC eliminated paclitaxel-induced allodynia in the CIPN mouse model, while in RAW264.7 cells, 50 mM NAC completely blocked the paclitaxel-induced release of high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) and upregulation of CREB-binding protein (CBP) and p300/CBP-associated factor (PCAF) [63]
In summary, oxidative stress is a pivotal factor in the pathogenesis of diabetes, with excessive levels potentially leading to irreversible physiological damage
