Apparently, in the HepG2, as compared to the BF-2, cells, 1,4-NQ was metabolized by DT-diaphorase in a reaction involving a two electron reduction.
Bluegill sunfish BF-2 fibroblasts were used to evaluate the in vitro cytotoxicities of 1,4-naphthoquinone (NQ), 5,8-dihydroxy-1,4-NQ, and 2,3-dichloro-1, 4-NQ (dichlone); comparisons were made with previously obtained data on the response of human hepatoma HepG2 cells.

The increases as compared to control were: 5.3-, 1.9-, 3.2-, 2.6-, 2.8-, and 3.5-fold higher for superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione transferase and its peroxidase activity, glutathione reductase and DT-diaphorase, respectively.
