Abstract excerpt
We have investigated the antioxidant properties of V79 Chinese hamster cells rendered resistant to menadione by chronic exposure to increasing concentrations of this quinone. MD1, a clone of resistant cells, was compared to the parental M8 cells; the former showed increased activity of catalase (3 fold), glutathione peroxidase (1.6 fold) and DT-diaphorase (2.6 fold), as well as an increase in glutathione (3.2...
