The levels of soluble thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) increased markedly in animals treated with polar xenobiotics, CuCl2 or paraquat; exposure to the apolar xenobiotics, dieldrin or malathion, enhanced significantly the microsomal TBARS while decreasing the microsomal glutathione transferase activity.
