“The present data indicate that hydroquinone and 1,2,4-benzenetriol in the presence of copper ions can lead to the formation of reactive hydroxyl radicals which can release TBAR from glutamate or DNA.”
“Addition of hydroquinone reduced the total oxidized high-potential form of cytochrome b(559) present in Cu (II)-treated PSII membranes indicating that no conversion to the low-potential form took place.”
“The rates of reduction by quinol of Cu 2 + giving Signals 1 and 2, as well as of the corresponding forms in ceruloplasmin, and of added Cu 2+ have been measured.”
