Abstract excerpt
Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD1) catalyzes the dismutation of superoxide radicals produced from biological oxidation and environmental stresses. A number of xenobiotics are toxic because they generate free radicals, such as superoxide and hydroxyl radicals, through a redox cycle. The xenobiotic responsive element (XRE) was located between the nt -268 and -262 region of the 5'-flanking sequence of the SOD1 gene....
