Copper(I) oxide

SKU: orb3211076

Description

Copper (I) oxide functions as an oxidative stress inducer and cytotoxic agent. It decreases the survival rate of airway epithelial cells in a dose-dependent manner by impairing catalase and glutathione reductase activities, generating reactive oxygen species, and elevating 8-isoprostane levels and the ratio of oxidized glutathione. However, its cytotoxic effects are significantly reduced and oxidative damage is effectively alleviated when combined with Resveratrol.
