physiological function | mice lacking the glutamate-cysteine ligase modifier subunit show an increase in myocardial ischaemia-reperfusion injury and apoptosis in ischaemic myocardium. A decrease in mitochondrial glutathione levels in ischaemic myocardium is more pronounced in mice lacking the glutamate-cysteine ligase modifier subunit than in control. The ESR signal intensity of the dimethyl-1-pyrroline-N-oxide-hydroxyl radical adducts in ischaemic myocardium is higher in mice lacking the glutamate-cysteine ligase modifier subunit than in control. Hypoxia-reoxygenation induces greater mitochondrial damage in cultured cardiomyocytes from mice lacking the glutamate-cysteine ligase modifier subunit | Mus musculus |
