Using an electron spin resonance technique, free radical signals were observed to be increased in liver of rats 15, 30 and 45 min after orally dosing with 80 mg/kg 3-nitropropionic acid (3-NPA). Concentrations of 3-NPA from 595 to 2380 mg/litre enhanced the formation of adrenochrome from adrenaline in mitochondria and microsome suspensions of liver and brain. The activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-PX) as well as the content of malonidialdehyde (MDA) were significantly increased in liver of rats dosed with 80 mg/kg 3-NPA. There was also a cerebral increase of activity of SOD and content of MDA. These results suggest that 3-NPA is able to produce lipid peroxidation both in vivo and in vitro.
