Popis: A study was made of generation of superoxide anion-radical (O2-) by cytochrome P-450 in a microsomal membrane of rat liver. Using spectrophotometry (by oxidation of adrenaline to adrenochrome) and ESR (with a spin-trap, tiron) the authors showed the ability of O2- generation by P-450 through decomposition of organic peroxides. During the first 24 h following irradiation of rats with doses of 7 and 10 Gy, the generation of O2- by cytochrome P-450 of rat liver microsomes was increased. Mechanisms of the postirradiation modification of O2- generation rate are discussed.
