The enzymes used to assemble the biosensors were tyrosinase or catalase, the substrates were phenol or p-cresol and tert-butyl hydroperoxide, respectively, and the organic solvents were acetonitrile or dioxane.

The alpha 2 beta 2 gamma 2 component was indicated to contain the site for toluene binding and hydroxylation by the following observations: (1) tight binding to a toluene affinity column; (2) oxidation of toluene after reduction of the protein with dithionite and adding O2; (3) H2O2-dependent toluene oxidation and catalase activity; and (4) spectroscopic studies of the iron atoms in the component.

The enhanced response of platelets to aggregation induced by OC plasma could be inhibited by adding either glutathione (p less than 0.025), vitamin E (p less than 0.025), catalase (p less than 0.05), or peroxidase + glutathione (p less than 0.005) to plasma or 2,6,di-bis (ter-butyl) p-cresol (p less than 0.05) to platelets before incubation.

Structural changes can be correlated to an increase in hepatic lipid and protein contents as well as stimulation of mitochondrial (cytochrome c oxidase), peroxisomal (catalase, allantoinase, uricase), lysosomal (arylsulfatase), and microsomal (esterase) enzymes.

The hepatic activities of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, glutathione reductase, and glutathione-S-transferases were markedly elevated while catalase and superoxide dismutase activities were unchanged.

We found that LDL is modified by HepG2 cells through a peroxidative mechanism, as judged by an increase in TBARS content (which was prevented in the presence of the antioxidants vitamin E, 2,6-di-tertbutyl-cresol and probucol), increased degradation by J774 macrophages, decreased internalization by MRC5 fibroblasts, and aggregation of apo B.
