Hemin-induced membrane sulfhydryl oxidation: possible involvement of thiyl radicals.

abstract：:Intracellular levels of H2O2 in BHK-21 cells are not static but decline progressively with cell growth. Exposure of cells to inhibitors of catalase, or glutathione peroxidase, not only diminishes this decline but also depresses rates of cell proliferation, suggesting important growth regulatory roles for those antioxi...
