Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Biochemistry
  • Gene

His primary areas of investigation include Biochemistry, Phospholipid-hydroperoxide glutathione peroxidase, Glutathione peroxidase, Peroxidase and Glutathione. His work on Biochemistry deals in particular with Lipid peroxidation, Antioxidant, Selenocysteine, Selenoprotein and Oxidative stress. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Phospholipid-hydroperoxide glutathione peroxidase, GPX1 is strongly linked to GPX3.

His Glutathione peroxidase research includes themes of Molecular biology and Substrate. His Peroxidase research incorporates themes from Sperm and Selenium deficiency. As a member of one scientific family, he mostly works in the field of Glutathione, focusing on Stereochemistry and, on occasion, Ebselen, Selenol, Protein structure and GPX6.

His most cited work include:

  • The selenoenzyme phospholipid hydroperoxide glutathione peroxidase. (764 citations)
  • Dual Function of the Selenoprotein PHGPx During Sperm Maturation (709 citations)
  • Diversity of glutathione peroxidases. (681 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Fulvio Ursini mainly focuses on Biochemistry, Phospholipid-hydroperoxide glutathione peroxidase, Glutathione, Antioxidant and Lipid peroxidation. His Peroxidase, Glutathione peroxidase, GPX4, GPX3 and Cysteine study are his primary interests in Biochemistry. His Phospholipid-hydroperoxide glutathione peroxidase research also works with subjects such as

  • Selenoprotein and related Selenium deficiency,
  • Sperm which intersects with area such as Spermatogenesis.

His research investigates the link between Glutathione and topics such as Oxidative stress that cross with problems in Chemiluminescence, Postprandial and Reactive oxygen species. His Antioxidant study deals with Crocin intersecting with Trolox. His Lipid peroxidation research focuses on Phospholipid and how it connects with Lipoxygenase, Oxygen and Biophysics.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Biochemistry (53.51%)
  • Phospholipid-hydroperoxide glutathione peroxidase (22.81%)
  • Glutathione (21.05%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2011-2021)?

  • Biochemistry (53.51%)
  • GPX4 (14.91%)
  • Glutathione (21.05%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His scientific interests lie mostly in Biochemistry, GPX4, Glutathione, Cell biology and Glutathione peroxidase. His Biochemistry study combines topics in areas such as Hormesis and Stereochemistry. His research in GPX4 intersects with topics in Phospholipid, Lipid peroxidation, Selenocysteine, Selenium and Mitochondrion.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Oxidative phosphorylation, Protein kinase A and Cancer research in addition to Glutathione. His Glutathione peroxidase research incorporates elements of Fatty acid, Catalytic cycle, Endoplasmic reticulum, Small molecule and Gene silencing. In his study, GPX1 is inextricably linked to Selenenic acid, which falls within the broad field of Peroxidase.

Between 2011 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • How do nutritional antioxidants really work: nucleophilic tone and para-hormesis versus free radical scavenging in vivo. (380 citations)
  • Selenium Utilization by GPX4 Is Required to Prevent Hydroperoxide-Induced Ferroptosis (238 citations)
  • An overview of mechanisms of redox signaling. (142 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Biochemistry

Biochemistry, Glutathione, GPX4, Lipid peroxidation and Oxidative stress are his primary areas of study. Fulvio Ursini combines topics linked to Stereochemistry with his work on Biochemistry. His studies deal with areas such as Peroxidase, Active site, GPX1 and Selenenic acid as well as Stereochemistry.

His Lipid peroxidation study is concerned with the field of Antioxidant as a whole. His Oxidative stress research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Hormesis, Reactive oxygen species, Signal transduction and Redox. The concepts of his Glutathione peroxidase study are interwoven with issues in Selenocysteine and Selenium.
