Abstract excerpt
Doxorubicin is a highly effective antineoplastic agent, but it can produce the serious side effects of acute cardiac injury and chronic congestive heart failure. Carbonyl reductase (CBR) has been implicated in the development of doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity. To test whether a decrease in CBR levels was protective against doxorubicin toxicity, we created a null allele of the Cbr1 gene. Mice with one...
