The administration of lindane to hyperthyroid animals led to a further increase in the molecular activity of NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase and in the O2.- production/SOD activity ratio, and decrease of hepatic alpha-tocopherol content, in a magnitude exceeding the sum of effects elicited by the separate treatments, as previously reported for reduced glutathione depletion.

Biol Res. 2003;36(3-4):359-65.


Concomitantly, the molecular activity of NADPH-cytochrome p450 reductase was enhanced by 90 and 69% by HCCH and T3, respectively.

These changes were observed in the absence of changes in either microsomal functions (cytochrome P450 content, NADPH-dependent superoxide radical production, and NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase or NADPH oxidase activities) or in oxidative stress-related enzymatic activities (superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase, glutathione reductase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, and glutathione-S-transferases), over control values.

PB pretreatment produced a 50% increase in lipid peroxidation (TBAR) by liver homogenates and microsomes, an effect accompanied by increases in cytochrome P-450, NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase, NADPH oxidase and microsomal superoxide anion production, MC pretreatment resulted in increases in liver cytochrome P-450 and NADPH oxidase only. 3.
