Quantitative Shifts of Electrogenic Metals in Epidermal Cells in the Setting of Oxidative or Nitrosative Stress – What Could They Stand For? - Abstract
The paper informs about the specific shifts in metal-ligand homeostasis (MLH) of epidermic cells (hair) in Chernobyl accident liquidators, which are viewed by the authors as biomarkers of oxidative/nitrosative stress. The detected (by EPR-analysis) relationships between NO-production and MLH quantitative shifts can be indicative of the possible participation of nitric oxide in generation of cell electric potential.
