Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: As we previously observed that bovine liposomal Cu/Zn SOD (LipSOD) reduces cutaneous radiation-induced fibrosis (RIF) in human therapeutic assays the mechanisms involved were investigated here by an in vitro study of the LipSOD effects on cellular antioxidant metabolism and regulation of matrix degradation. METHODS: Primary cultures of human fibroblasts harvested from normal or RIF skin were treated with...
