• Abstract:

  An early event in the induction of apoptosis is cytochrome <i>c</i> (Cyt <i>c</i>) release from mitochondria. Alloxan has the cytotoxicity on pancreatic beta-cells and thus causes type 1 diabetes mellitus. Although the mechanism of cytotoxicity is not yet clearly understood, alloxan causes mitochondrial inner membrane permeability transition (MPT) ..
