Induced expression of drug metabolizing enzymes by preventive agents: role of the antioxidant response element.

16 Aug 2009 Identifying agents that block tumor initiation is a goal of cancer prevention. The ability of a chemically varied group of agents to induce various drug metabolizing genes in livers of rats was examined. Sprague-Dawley rats were treated for 7 days ... Read more...

Methoxychlor inhibits growth of antral follicles by altering cell cycle regulators.

12 Jul 2009 Methoxychlor (MXC) reduces fertility in female rodents, decreases antral follicle numbers, and increases atresia through oxidative stress pathways. MXC also inhibits antral follicle growth in vitro. The mechanism by which MXC inhibits growth of ... Read more...

Reactive oxygen species and peroxisomes: struggling for balance.

29 Jun 2009 Reactive oxygen species (ROS) can surely be considered as multifunctional biofactors within the cell. They are known to participate in regular cell functions, for example, as signal mediators, but overproduction under oxidative stress conditions ... Read more...
