Oxy-radicals in molecular biology and pathology: Proceedings of an Upjohn-UCLA symposium, held at Park City, Utah, January 24-30, 1988 (UCLA symposia on molecular and cellular biology)

Provides in-depth coverage of recent advances in oxy-radical biology and medicine. Examines the deleterious effects of oxy-radicals at the tissue, cellular, and molecular levels; and application of ESR and spin-trapping to in vivo detection and identification of free radicals. Also covers biological sources of O2-, superoxide dismutases, the defensive role of glutathione peroxidase against oxygen toxicity, regulation of the GSHPx gene, and much more.
