Proton leak modulation in testicular mitochondria affects reactive oxygen species production and lipid peroxidation.

abstract：:Human cytochrome P450 2J2 (CYP2J2) is abundant in cardiovascular tissue and active in the metabolism of arachidonic acid to eicosanoids that have potent vasodilatory properties. Variability of the CYP2J2 gene is highly constrained except for its proximal promoter: there is a relatively common and functionally relevant...
