## BACKGROUND. Oxidative stress in tissues can be provoked by an augmented metabolic rate, which may sometimes be combined with a decrease in the antioxidant capacity. METHODS. In this study we examined the primary enzymatic defense mechanisms against the damage caused by reactive oxygen species (
Parameters related to oxidative stress in rat liver and erythrocytes were studied after shortterm administration (60 and 90 days) of 1000 ppm of lindane in the diet. Lindane induced an oxidative stress condition in the liver, which is related to an enhancement in microsomal NADPH-cytochrome c reduct
