Abstract excerpt
STUDY QUESTION: Can selenium (Se) independent, epididymal-specific glutathione peroxidase 5 (GPX5) protect CHO-K1 cells from oxidative damage and, more specifically, from lipid peroxidation and DNA mutation? SUMMARY ANSWER: CHO-K1 cells expressing GPX5 have increased resistance to oxidative challenge and, more specifically, decreased levels of lipid peroxidation and decreased levels of the downstream DNA lesion...
