Abstract

There is increasing interest in the involvement of transcription factors, such as of the transcription factor NF-kB (nuclear factor-kB), in the pathogenesis of various diseases. The involvement ofNF-kB is especially of interest as it is activated by oxidative stress and its activation can be modulated by antioxidant compounds. (omitted)
