## Abstract A wide array of chronic inflammatory conditions predispose susceptible cells to neoplastic transformation. In general, the longer the inflammation persists, the higher the risk of cancer. A mutated cell is a __sine qua non__ for carcinogenesis. Inflammatory processes may induce DNA muta

## Abstract Oxidative stress is associated with inflammation, radiation, reperfusion, and iron overload. Epidemiological observations have shown that oxidative stress is one of the major sources of carcinogenesis, the topβranked cause of human mortality worldwide. In situations of oxidative stress,
Lipid peroxidation is a degenerative chain reaction in biological membranes that may be initiated by exposure to free radicals. This process is associated with changes in the membrane fluidity and loss of several cell membrane-dependent functions. 5-methoxytryptophol (ML) is an indole isolated from
Oxidative stress is associated with liver fibrosis and with hepatic stellate cell (HSC) activation in vivo. However, it remains controversial whether oxidative stress contributes to HSC activation either directly or through a paracrine stimulation by damaged hepatocytes. A medium containing products
