โœฆ Synopsis

Some of the physiological and biochemical changes which were found to occur during paraquat (1,1'-dimethyl-4,4'-bipyridylium ion) treatment of cotyledon leaves of Linium usitatissimum, are reported. Results showed an inhibition of photosynthetic CO2 uptake and electron flow of isolated chloroplasts. An increase in membrane permeability, changes in the level of the major lipid components and of malondialdehyde. These are correlated with ultrastructural changes and the discussion includes a proposed mode of action for the herbicides.

The effect of anti-inflammatory drugs on the biochemical changes in the Arthus reaction have been studied and correlated to changes in the pathology of the reaction. In the Arthus reaction all the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs inhibited the migration of cells into the lesion and reduced the
