Glutathione Metabolism in Renal Cell Carcinoma Progression and Implications for Therapies [PDF]
A significantly increased level of the reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenger glutathione (GSH) has been identified as a hallmark of renal cell carcinoma (RCC). The proposed mechanism for increased GSH levels is to counteract damaging ROS to sustain the
