THE GEOGENIC RADON POTENTIAL MAP OF THE ASPIRING 'BUZĂU LAND' GEOPARK.

abstract：:In response to reactive oxygen species (ROS) or electrophiles, the transcription factor nuclear factor-erythroid 2 (NF-E2)-related factor 2 (Nrf2) rapidly translocates into the nucleus and induces the expression of various antioxidant genes, such as heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1). Low linear energy transfer (LET) ionising ra...
