Lindane disturbs the capacity of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to scavenge lipid hydroperoxides via phospholipid hydroperoxide glutathione peroxidase causing cell death

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are by-products of aerobic metabolism in cells. Pollutants such as lindane may raise its production, causing cell damages in biomolecules as lipids. Cells possess defence systems to counter oxidative stress including glutathione and glutathione peroxidases (GPx). Phosph...
