The final measurement at the end of this step reflects the total content of GSH (free GSH + GSSG) in the samples, to calculate the GSSG content, the free GSH content must be subtracted from the total GSH content
Furthermore, the activation of AMPK by berberine directly phosphorylates and activates endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), the enzyme responsible for producing the vasodilating molecule nitric oxide (NO)
