Abstract excerpt
Aldo-keto reductases (AKRs) are a class of NADPH-dependent oxidoreductases that have been linked to metabolism of the anthracyclines doxorubicin (DOX) and daunorubicin (DAUN). Although widely used, cardiotoxicity continues to be a serious side effect that may be linked to metabolites or reactive intermediates generated in their metabolism. In this study we examine the little known effects of nonsynonymous single...
