This is an in vivo study detailing the effects of catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and the level of lipid peroxidation (LPO) products in liver homogenates from mice treated with alpha amanitin or phalloidin. Spectrophotometry was the main method used in this study. Our results showed that both toxins increased SOD activity, confirming an earlier in vitro study. In addition, our presen...

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by motor deficits accompanying degeneration of substantia nigra pars compactor (SNc) neurons. Although familial forms of the disease exist, the cause of sporadic PD is unknown. Symptomatic treatments are available for PD, but there are no disease modifying therapies. While the neurodegenerative processes in PD may be multifa...

Thiosulfonates are characterized by a wide spectrum of biological activity and have effective antimicrobial, antithrombotic, antitumor antiparasitic effects. However, the use synthetic sulfur-containing compounds for therapeutic preventive purposes requires study their effect on protective mechanisms maintaining homeostasis, antioxidant status body in particular. The aim was to estimate lipid p...
