Oxidative damage of mitochondrial DNA in diabetes and its protection by manganese superoxide dismutase.

abstract：:Exposure of dry powder forms of the drugs nitrendipine, nifedipine, felodipine, and nimodipine to gamma-radiation results in the formation of free radicals detected by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. The four structurally related drugs show qualitatively identical EPR spectral features in terms of ...
