[Lipid peroxidation and the antioxidant blood system in dynamics of pestilential and choleraic intoxication]
Abstract:
Lipid peroxidation (LPO) and activity of antioxidant system were studied spectrophotometrically in white rats developing pestilential and choleraic intoxication achieved by intraperitoneal injection of plague autolysate of vaccine EB strain in dose equivalent to DL50, cholerain endotoxin in doses DL50 and DL25 as well as combined effect of choleraic endo- and enterotoxins. With progression of the intoxication, the levels of diene conjugates and malonic dialdehyde in blood plasma and erythrocytes rose. LPO activation in plague intoxication arose in high activity of SOD and blood catalase. In choleraic intoxication the activity of the above enzymes progressively lowered.

Oxidation of Phenols to Quinones
o-hydroxy phenols are oxidized to o-quinones and p-hydroxy phenols to p-quinones. Such redox reactions involve the transfer of two electrons and two protons. The reversible redox property is crucial in...

Toxic Reactions: Overview
Toxicity falls into two primary categories: local and systemic.
Local toxicity appears at the exposure site, such as protein denaturation caused by caustic substances.
In contrast, systemic toxicity requires the toxic agent's absorption and distribution,...
