12/15 lipoxygenase: A crucial enzyme in diverse types of cell death.

abstract：:Recent in vitro studies have revealed that benzodiazepines, opiates, barbiturates and ethanol might influence GABA binding to CNS membrane sites. Further studies of such interactions might be helpful for explaining both the mechanisms of action of these psychoactive agents and the tolerance/dependence that might resul...
