A major protective mechanism against oxidizing substances capable of damaging DNA integrity and initiating carcinogenesis is the induction of phase II detoxification and antioxidant enzymes by chemopreventive agents. A key finding in the field of chemoprevention has been the discovery that the induc

## Abstract The growth of estrogenβreceptor positive breast cancer cells is inhibited by the pineal gland hormone, melatonin. Concern has been raised that powerβline frequency and microwave electromagnetic fields (EMFs) could reduce the efficiency of melatonin on breast cancer cells. In this study
## Abstract ## Background Nitric oxide (NOΒ·) derived from donor drugs has been shown to be an effective chemosensitizer __in vitro__. We investigated the combination of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) gene transfer, driven by a strong constitutive promoter (cytomegalovirus; CMV) with the DN
## BACKGROUND. Caspases are a family of cysteine proteases capable of characteristically cleaving after an aspartic acid residue. Various members of the caspase family (e.g., caspases 8 and 9) have been implicated as critical initiators in the signaling phase, while others (e.g., caspases 3, 6,and
To gain insight into the gene regulation and signal transduction effects of active oxygen in tumour promotion and progression, we studied the effect of active oxygen generated extracel- Marly by xanthine/xanthine oxidase (X/XO
