✦ Synopsis

Chloroplasts are especially subject to oxidative stress during photosynthesis, and they have a multiplicity of protective mechanisms (ascorbic acid, vitamin E, carotenoids, glutathione, superoxide dismutase) and repair systems (thioredoxin, methionhne sulphoxide teductase, resynthesis of damaged proteins). Hydrogen peroxide is metabolised by an "ascorbate glutathione cycle". Normal rates of radical production may sometimes serve useful functions in plants, but excessive production is damaging. The current contxoversy as to whether lipid peroxidation is a cause of cellular damage or merely a consequence of it is addressed by reference to several "oxidative stress" situations in plant tissues.

The effect of silymarin on liver damage induced by acetaminophen (APAP) intoxication was studied. Wistar male rats pretreated (72 h) with 3-methylcholantrene (3-MC) (20 mg kg-' body wt. i.p.) were divided into three groups: animals in group 1 were treated with acetaminophen (APAP) (500 mg kg-' body
