At enrollment, sepsis was associated with significant increases in the expression of mRNAs related to redox metabolism (myeloperoxidase, 64-fold; PRDX3, 2.6-fold; SOD2, 2.2-fold) and redox-responsive genes (FOXM1, 21-fold; SELS, 16-fold; GLRX2, 3.4-fold).

The hearts from Glrx2 transgenic mice displayed significantly improved contractile performance and reduced myocardial infarct size and cardiomyocyte apoptosis.
