## Abstract Iron‐deficient rats were co‐exposed to manganese and lead to study lipid peroxide formation and contents of lead, manganese, copper, iron, zinc and calcium in the brain. Concurrent exposure to lead and manganese increased the lipid peroxidation potential of brain in iron‐deficient rats.
## Abstract Glutathione is a major regulator of the redox equilibrium, so its deficit weakens tissue resistance to oxidants. The nervous system is particularly susceptible to oxidative insults and is therefore very dependent on its glutathione content, especially during development, when brain meta
## Abstract Treatment of rats with 100 mg kg^−1^ __t__‐butyl hydroperoxide led to an enhanced ethane exhalation as a marker of __in vivo__ lipid peroxidation, as well as a moderate hepatoxicity as evidenced by a rise in plasma activities of liver‐specific enzymes (glutamate‐pyruvate transaminase an
