Conference overview: molecular mechanisms of metal toxicity and carcinogenesis.

abstract：:Purpurogallin (PPG) is a phenolic compound extracted from nutgalls formed on oak trees. It has been used as an additive to edible or nonedible oils or fats, and to hydrocarbon fuels or lubricants to retard their oxidation. We investigated by luminol-dependent chemiluminescence (PMNL-CL), the ability of PPG to scavenge...
