J. Pedrazachaverri et Ae. Arevalo, TISSUE LIPOPEROXIDATION AND GLUTATHIONE-PEROXIDASE ACTIVITY IN PUROMYCIN AMINONUCLEOSIDE INJECTED RATS, International Journal of Biochemistry, 26(9), 1994, pp. 1139-1145
1. Lipoperoxidation (LPx) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activity we
re measured in kidney, liver, heart, lung, brain and testis from contr
ol and puromycin aminonucleoside (PAN) injected rats on days 1-6, 8, 1
0, 16 and 22 after vehicle or PAN injection. 2. PAN-injected rats deve
loped proteinuria on day 3. 3. In PAN-injected rats: (a) LPx increased
in kidney, liver, lung, brain and testis before day 3 and in heart on
day 3; (b) GPx activity increased in kidney, liver, heart, lung and t
estis and diminished in brain on day 3 or after.
