A study on the effects of ascorbic acid (AA) on heavy metal (cadmium)-induced thyroid dysfunction and lipid peroxidation (LPO) was carried out in Swiss male mice. The animals were administered with either cadmium (1.0 mg kg -1 body wt.) alone or in combination with AA (1 mM) every day for 15 days. W

Incubation of isolated rat hepatocytes with tert-butylhydroperoxide resulted in marked cytotoxicity preceded by intracellular glutathione depletion and extensive lipid peroxidation. Addition of antioxidants delayed, but did not prevent, this toxicity. A significant decrease in protein-free sulfhydr
## Abstract Tamoxifen (TAM) is a nonsteroidal triphenylethylene antiestrogenic drug widely used in the treatment and prevention of breast cancer. TAM brings about a collapse of the mitochondrial membrane potential. It acts both as an uncoupling agent and as a powerful inhibitor of mitochondrial ele
## Abstract This work aimed to study the relationship between the accumulation of cadmium (Cd) or aluminum (Al) in certain tissues and the levels of lipid peroxides as well as tissue antioxidants. To carry out such investigations, CdCl~2~ was given to rats in two dose levels; 0.5 or 2.0 mg/kg i.p f
The effects of cadmium-metallothionein (Cd-MT) on organic ion uptake in renal cortical slices and lipid peroxidation in the kidney were studied in rats. For in vitro studies, slices were prepared from kidneys of control animals and incubated in buffer containing either cadmium chloride (CdCl2) or Cd
