Heme Oxygenase -1 Gene Therapy: Recent Advances and Therapeutic Applications
1 Apr 2007
Abstract excerpt
Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) is regarded as a sensitive and reliable indicator of cellular oxidative stress. Studies on carbon monoxide (CO) and bilirubin, two of the three (iron is the third) end products of heme degradation have improved the understanding of the protective role of HO against oxidative injury. CO is a vasoactive molecule and bilirubin is an antioxidant, and an increase in their production through an...
