1 Suppression of doxorubicin cardiotoxicity by overexpression of catalase in the heart of transgenic mice. Doxorubicin catalase Mus musculus
2 Weak antioxidant capacity, particularly low catalase activity in the heart, may be a factor responsible for the high sensitivity of this organ to doxorubicin-induced oxidative damage. Doxorubicin catalase Mus musculus
3 As compared to normal controls, transgenic lines expressing catalase activity 60- or 100-fold higher than normal exhibited a significant resistance to doxorubicin-induced cardiac lipid peroxidation, elevation of serum creatine phosphokinase, and functional changes in the isolated atrium. Doxorubicin catalase Mus musculus
4 The results provide direct evidence for the role of catalase in doxorubicin cardiotoxic responses. Doxorubicin catalase Mus musculus
