The ability of paraquat (PQ), a free radical inducible chemical, to increase metallothionein-I (MT-I) content in the tissues was determined using radioimmunoassay. A single dose of PQ into the rat caused a sevenfold increase in pulmonary MT-I concentration on day 1 and its concentration returned to the control level by day 5. Paraquat-induced increase in MT-I was not observed in the kidney, but was seen in the liver. The data show the difference in accumulation of MT-I in liver, kidney and lung after intraperitoneal injection of a high dose of PQ.
利用放射免疫分析法测定了百草枯(PQ,一种可诱导自由基的化学物质)增加组织中金属硫蛋白-I(MT-I)含量的能力。给大鼠单次注射PQ后,第1天肺组织中MT-I浓度增加了7倍,到第5天时其浓度恢复到对照水平。在肾脏中未观察到百草枯诱导的MT-I增加,但在肝脏中观察到了。数据显示,腹腔注射高剂量PQ后,肝脏、肾脏和肺中MT-I的蓄积存在差异。
