The enemy at the gates? DNA adducts as biomarkers of exposure to exogenous and endogenous genotoxic agents.

abstract：BACKGROUND:GAPDH, well known for its house-keeping functions, has also been shown to be involved in cell injury, apoptosis and death under conditions of stress such as starvation, chemical injury and oxidative stress. This study examines the effect of GAPDH knockdown on cell injury in response to Rotenone. METHODS:GAP...
