12516873 Simon-Giavarotti KA, Giavarotti L, Gomes LF, Lima AF, Veridiano AM, Garcia EA, Mora OA, Fernandez V, Videla LA, Junqueira VB: Enhancement of lindane-induced liver oxidative stress and hepatotoxicity by thyroid hormone is reduced by gadolinium chloride. Free Radic Res. 2002 Oct;36(10):1033-9.

Hyperthyroid animals treated with lindane exhibit enhanced liver microsomal superoxide radical (O2.-) production and NADPH cytochrome c reductase activity, with lower levels of cytochrome P450, superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase activity, and glutathione (GSH) content over control values.

15620088 Sheweita SA: Carcinogen-metabolizing enzymes and insecticides. J Environ Sci Health B. 2004;39(5-6):805-18.

The present study was under taken to demonstrate the effect of some commonly used insecticides on the activity of cytochrome P450 system including cytochrome b5, aryl hydrocarbon [benzo (a) pyrene] hydroxylase (AHH), N-nirosodimethylamine N-demethylase I [NDMA-dI] and NADPH-cytochrome c reductase as phase I of drug oxidation.
In addition, the activity of glutathione S-transferase (GST), glutathione reductase (GR), and the level of glutathione (GSH) were determined in the liver of male mice after oral administration of sumithion, dursban, chlordane, methoxychlor, heptachlor epoxide, and lindane as single (24h) or as repeated doses for six consecutive days.

When hepatic mitochondria were incubated with endrin and lindane for 15 min at 100 ng/ml, increases in cytochrome c reduction of 6.5- and 7.5-fold occurred, respectively, while when microsomes were incubated with these same two PCH, increases in cytochrome c reduction of 8.6- and 11.6-fold occurred, respectively.

To elucidate the mechanism (s) underpinning the gonadal effects of lindane, we sought to investigate the levels of apoptosis-related proteins, namely cytochrome c, caspase-3 and-9, Fas and FasL in the testis of adult rats.

Exposure to 100 or 200 microM lindane rapidly (within 1 min) increased myometrial cell generation of superoxide, as measured by superoxide dismutase-inhibitable cytochrome c reduction, and superoxide production remained elevated for up to 60 min of exposure.

Lindane induced an oxidative stress condition in the liver, which is related to an enhancement in microsomal NADPH-cytochrome c reductase and NADPH oxidase activities, superoxide radical formation and cytochrome P450 content, produced independently of the time of treatment.

The liver from lindane-treated rats showed an enhanced microsomal pro-oxidant activity, evidenced by higher cytochrome P450 content and NADPH-cytochrome c reductase and NADPH oxidase activities.

This disruption of cell suicide was linked to Bcl-xL up-regulation, Bax down-expression, prevention of cytochrome c release, and inhibition of caspase-9 and -3 activities.
