Abstract excerpt
Long-Evans Cinnamon (LEC) rat, an animal model of Wilson's disease, that develops a necrotizing hepatic injury with an abnormally high hepatic copper accumulation exhibits an altered expression of glutathione S-transferase (GST) subunits, that is, a low percentage of the Ya and a high percentage...
