specific changes in <strong>the</strong> RAR/RXR r<strong>at</strong>io, th<strong>at</strong> will cause a decrease in <strong>the</strong> expression <strong>of</strong><br />

proapoptotic proteins and increase in <strong>the</strong> expression <strong>of</strong> antiapoptotic proteins thus<br />

resulting in <strong>the</strong> prevention <strong>of</strong> apoptosis; and 5) High dose <strong>of</strong> retinoic acid (1pM) reduced<br />

oxid<strong>at</strong>ive stress but did not modul<strong>at</strong>e <strong>the</strong> changes in RAR/RXR receptor r<strong>at</strong>io due to<br />

adriamycin, thus failing to protect against adriamycin-induced apoptosis.<br />

It is concluded th<strong>at</strong> retinoic acid signaling may play a intermedi<strong>at</strong>ing role in<br />

oxid<strong>at</strong>ive stress-induced apoptosis due to adriamycin. Thus it may be involved in <strong>the</strong><br />
