Abstract excerpt
Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) play a primary role in cellular defense against electrophilic chemical species and radical oxygen species. Because free radical attack is one mechanism of UV irradiation-caused skin damage, we investigated whether genetic variation at the GST loci GST T1 and GST M1 influences individual UVB sensitivity. In a double-blind clinical trial, 50 healthy volunteers were evaluated for...
