15485668 Teixeira MC, Telo JP, Duarte NF, Sa-Correia I: The herbicide 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid induces the generation of free-radicals and associated oxidative stress responses in yeast. Biochem Biophys Res Commun. 2004 Nov 19;324(3):1101-7.

The pro-oxidant action of the herbicide 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) is demonstrated in this study using Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a eukaryotic experimental model.
The variation pattern of the level of hydroxyl-radical adducts correlated with the one determined for the activity of Sod1p, cytosolic catalase Ctt1p, and the dithiol glutaredoxins Grx1p and Grx2p.

The effect of four fibrate analogues (i.e. clofibrate, ciprofibrate, clobuzarit and 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), an active herbicide molecule) were tested on the biogenesis of liver mitochondrial and peroxisomal proteins by rat in vivo treatment at 100 ppm for 26 weeks.
Post-transcriptional study of mRNAs level shows a slight increase in catalase mRNA despite the potential of hypolipemic agents.

Aim of this study was to investigate the intensity and timing of the ROS formation, lipid peroxidation and expression of antioxidant enzymes as initial responses of calli of Sesamum prostratum (SP) against Fusarium oxysporum f. sesame crude toxin metabolite of varying concentrations. 2,4 dichlorophenoxy acetic acid (2,4-D) / coconut milk combinations were found to be more efficient among different hormonal regimes (2,4 -D, 2,4-D/casein hydrosylate and 2,4-D/ coconut milk).
The poor activity of catalase confirmed the oxidative burst in the callus leading to necrosis.

A hypolipidemic drug, clofibrate [ethyl-2-(4-chlorophenoxy)-2-methylpropionate], which is structurally related to phenoxy acids, was used as a positive control (200 mg/kg body wt). 2,4-D and MCPA had several effects similar to those of clofibrate: all three compounds induced proliferation of hepatic peroxisomes, decreased serum lipid levels, and increased hepatic carnitine acetyltransferase and catalase activities. 2,4-D and MCPA, but not clofibrate, decreased lipoprotein lipase activity in the adipose tissue to about a third of the control value but did not change the lipoprotein lipase activity in the heart muscle.

The effects of exposure to different concentrations of phenoxyherbicides and their metabolites were studied in human erythrocytes, with particular attention to catalase (CAT-EC. 1.11.1. 6- hydrogen peroxide: hydrogen peroxide oxidoreductase). 4-chloro-2-methylphenoxyacetic acid (MCPA), 2,4-dimethylphenol (2, 4-DMP) and 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) did not affect CAT activity, but 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) and 2,4,5-trichlorophenol (2,4,5-TCP) decrease its activity, the latter being the more inhibitory.

In comparison with controls, NAF and PFOA caused a 60-and 24-fold increase inthe peroxisomal beta-oxidation of fatty acids respectively, but only about a 2-fold increase in the catalase activity, 2,4-D and/or 2,4,5-T were much less active in this respect, giving approximately a doubling in the rate of fatty acid oxidation.
