Abstract
The activity of antioxidant and detoxifying enzymes, superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSHPx), glutathione-S-transferase (GST), the SOD isoenzyme patterns and the contents of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), were determined in the livers of male and female rats after subchronic inhalation of mixtures of benzene, cyclohexanone and cyclohexane. Except for decreased GSHPx (with substrate cumene hydroperoxide) and GST activities in female rats, no differences in the activities of antioxidant and detoxifying enzymes and TBARS content occurred. Between the activities of GSHPx and GST was observed an indirect relationship. The activities of GSHPx-cum and GST were influenced by sex.
