Abstract

Peroxiredoxin (Prx) has been known to play an important role in the protection against oxidative damage of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Recent reports implied that the ROS may be closely related with the reproductive system. To define the possible roles of Prx family in reproduction, the expression profiles were investigated in reproductive organs of four murine strains. (omitted)
