S. Sarkar et al., CADMIUM-INDUCED IRON-DEPENDENT LIPID-PEROXIDATION AND OXYGEN-UPTAKE IN ISOLATED RAT-LIVER MITOCHONDRIA, Fresenius environmental bulletin, 3(2), 1994, pp. 101-106
Cadmium induced lipid peroxidation (LPO) in presence of iron and incre
ased oxygen uptake in isolated rat liver mitochondria. In the absence
of iron Cd showed an inhibition in LPO and no increase in oxygen uptak
e by the mitochondria. The increased oxygen uptake by the mitochondria
in presence of Cd and iron correlates with the increased LPO.
