9522278 Blakeman DP, Ryan TP, Jolly RA, Petry TW: Protein oxidation: examination of potential lipid-independent mechanisms for protein carbonyl formation. J Biochem Mol Toxicol. 1998;12(3):185-90.

This hypothesis was supported by the inhibitory effect of catalase on diquat-mediated protein carbonyl formation.

We examined the effects of diquat (0.1 mmol/kg, ip) and ciprofibrate (0.025% w/w, diet), chemicals which induce oxidative stress via different biochemical mechanisms, on the steady-state messenger RNA (mRNA) levels of six cytochrome P450 enzymes, seven glutathione S-transferase (GST) isoenzymes, UDP-glucuronosyl transferase 1-06 (UGT1*06), gamma-glutamylcysteine synthetase (gamma GCS), NADP (H):quinone oxidoreductase (quinone reductase), Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase, and 18S ribosomal RNA in the livers of male Sprague-Dawley rats.

A method for measuring drug-induced hydrogen peroxide production in freshly isolated rat hepatocytes is described. 3-Amino-1,2,4-triazole, an irreversible inhibitor of the enzyme catalase markedly reduces the capacity of isolated hepatocytes to metabolize hydrogen peroxide, with maximum inhibition (80%) being observed after 40 min of co-incubation.
Using this assay we could demonstrate increased hydrogen peroxide production during the metabolism of diquat, paraquat, xanthine, benzylamine and glycolate by hepatocytes.

20353071 Zhou KJ, Guan CY, Xiao WN: [Effects of chemical ripeners on chlorophyll content and antioxidant enzyme activities of rapeseed pod]. Ying Yong Sheng Tai Xue Bao. 2009 Dec;20(12):3015-9.

A field experiment was conducted to study the effects of ripeners Diguat and Roundup on the chlorophyll content, activities of catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and peroxidase (POD), cell membrane permeability, and malondialdehyde (MDA) content of rapeseed pods.
Under effects of Diquat, the chlorophyll content decreased, while the activities of SOD, POD, and CAT, cell membrane permeability, and MDA content increased significantly, leading to the peroxidation of membrane lipid.

Viable cells were assayed for glutathione (GSH) and activities of catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione reductase (GR), glutathione peroxidase (GPX), and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (GPDH).

The study indicates that plant metabolism can alter the results of this short-term mutagenicity test: some compounds which are non mutagenic in the Salmonella bio-assay (e.g. diquat) give positive responses, some preparations such as captan become more or less mutagenic, and some, such as triallate, become significantly more toxic to the tester strains.
