The balance between copper-zinc superoxide dismutase and catalase affects the sensitivity of mouse epidermal cells to oxidative stress

Oxidants are toxic, but at low doses they can stimulate rather than inhibit the growth of mammalian cells and play a role in the etiology of cancer and fibrosis. The effect of oxidants on cells is modulated by multiple interacting antioxidant defense systems. We have studied the individual roles and... View More
