Ultrastructural morphological alterations during hyperoxia exposure in relation to glutathione peroxidase activity and free radicals productions in the mitochondria of the cortical brain

Int. j. morphol; 36 (4), 2018
Exposure to normobaric hyperoxia (NH) is known to increase the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by mitochondria. The present study was designed to examine mitochondrial ultrastructure morphological changes in the cortical brainin relation to glutathione peroxidase (GPX) activity and free radic...
