Popis: Lethal intoxication of rats with the herbicide paraquat (1,1′-dimethyl-4,4′-bipyridilium dichloride) caused a stimulation of lipid peroxidation (LPO) in lung, brain, heart, liver, and kidney. Treatment of animals with antioxidant diludin (2,6-dimethyl-3,5-diethoxycarbonyl-1,4-dihydropyridine) or with the reductants sodium ascorbate or thiosulphate normalized the rate of LPO in these tissues and decreased mortality of intoxicated rats.
