## Abstract Dibenzoylmethane (DBM) belongs to the flavonoid family and is a minor constituent of the root extract of licorice and the Ξ²βdiketone analogue of curcumin. It exhibits antimutagenic, anticancer, and chemopreventive effects. Ornithine decarboxylase (ODC), the rateβlimiting enzyme of the p

We have previously reported that transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) induces apoptosis in fetal hepatocytes in primary culture. This effect was found to be associated with an increase in intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and a lowering of total cellular reduced glutathione (GSH). In
Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative disease that is consequent to the loss of brain dopamine (DA) cells. These abnormalities are thought, in part, to be a manifestation of increased free radical production during the metabolism of catecholamines. The antiapoptic agent, bcl-2, has been shown t
