Pathological aspects of lipid peroxidation.

abstract：:Microcystin-LR (MCLR) is a potent hepatotoxin. Oxidative stress is thought to be implicated in the cytotoxicity of MCLR, but the mechanisms by which MCLR produces reactive oxygen species (ROS) are still unclear. This study investigated the role and possible sources of ROS generation in MCLR-induced cytogenotoxicity in...
