Production of superoxide anion and hydrogen peroxide by KB cells in an anoxia-reoxygenation model, and role of allopurinol.

Abstract

AbstractIschemia-reperfusion (Freeman, 1982) is a phenomenon associated with the production of oxygen free radicals (McCord, 1987; Boli et al, 1988), which produces severe membrane damages and tissue injury (Halliwell, 1987; MC CORD, 1987).
