TLDR
The present paper gives a detailed account of the investigations on rabbit liver microsomes and crude microsomal digests, which have led to postulate the hemoprotein nature of the pigment.

Drug-induced lipid peroxidation in mice--I. Modulation by monooxygenase activity, glutathione and selenium status.

TL;DR: It is concluded that phase I metabolism of paracetamol is a prerequisite for the manifestation of drug-induced lipid peroxidation and activated oxygen released from the microsomal monooxygenase is the species responsible for the observed lipid per oxidation accompanied by severe acute liver lesions.

Effects of acute dimethoate administration on antioxidant status of liver and brain of experimental rats.

TL;DR: Effect of acute exposure of dimethoate in causation of oxidative stress in male Wistar rats is demonstrated and dose-dependent histopathological changes, observed in both liver and brain, are described.

Protein Measurement with the Folin Phenol Reagent

TL;DR: Procedures are described for measuring protein in solution or after precipitation with acids or other agents, and for the determination of as little as 0.2 gamma of protein.

Hepatic Triphosphopyridine Nucleotide-Cytochrome c Reductase: Isolation, Characterization, and Kinetic Studies

TL;DR: Evidence is presented which suggests that this enzyme participates in a microsomal elect,ron transport system which does not include cytochrome c and kinetic evidence has been obtained which allows certain conclusions to be drawn concerning the mechanism of catalysis by this enzyme.

Microsomal triphosphopyridine nucleotide-cytochrome c reductase of liver.

TL;DR: The biological role of reduced triphosphopyridine nucleotide (TPNH) and the metabolic pathways of its hydrogen atom and electron appear to be fundamentally different from those of reduced diphosphipyridineucleotide (DPNH).
