Glutathione S-transferases may play a role in the protection of cells against toxic electrophiles and in the resistance to cancer chemotherapeutic agants.The polymorphisms of GSTs genes are one of the important factors that exercise influence on individual susceptibility to cancer.展开更多

Recently, scientists pay closer attention to study the mechanism of cardiac injury in uremia patients. In this article, we will make an overview on mechanism of cardiac injure caused by uremia toxin, secondary hyperparathyroidism, calcium-phosphorus metabolic disorder, rennin-angiotensin-aldosterone system.展开更多
