Mammalian cytochromes P450 (P450) are a family of heme-thiolate enzymes involved in the
oxidative metabolism of a variety of endogenous and exogenous lipophilic compounds …

Gene expression is modulated by both physiological signals (hormones, cytokines, etc.) and
environmental stimuli (physical parameters, xenobiotics, etc.). Oxidative stress appears to be …

Most research on the effects of chemicals on biologic systems is conducted on one chemical
