The role of peroxiredoxins as mechanosensitive antioxidants in endothelial cells

Endothelial cells (EC) exposed to oscillatory shear stress (OS) experience oxidative stress as a signature of atherosclerosis. Conversely, unidirectional laminar shear stress (LS) reduces reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels and inflammatory responses. Peroxiredoxins (PRX) are antioxidant enzymes...
