Antioxidant responses of cortex neurons to iron loading

Antioxidant responses of cortex neurons to iron loading

Brain cells have a highly active oxidative metabolism, yet they contain only low to moderate superoxide dismutase and catalase activities. Thus, their antioxidant defenses rely mainly on cellular reduced glutathione levels. In this work, in cortical neurons we characterized viability and changes in...
