Life span and antioxygenic enzyme activities of insects reared on optimal BHA concentration (1 mM) soaked seeds were higher than their respective controls. However, the reproductive potential, peroxides and the level of free radicals declined. The increased longevity with BHA could be attributed to its free radical quenching effect, thereby leading to the decreased peroxide levels and the increased antioxygenic enzyme activities of the insects.
以浸泡在最佳丁基羟基茴香醚（BHA）浓度（1毫摩尔）种子上饲养的昆虫，其寿命和抗氧化酶活性高于各自的对照组。然而，其繁殖潜力、过氧化物和自由基水平下降。BHA使寿命延长可能归因于其自由基淬灭作用，从而导致昆虫过氧化物水平降低和抗氧化酶活性增加。
