The effects of chronic peroxide intake on the peroxide metabolism enzyme activities of rat organs.
In rats receiving a dilute aqueous solution of hydrogen peroxide for a prolonged period, the activity of the peroxide metabolising enzymes, i.e. superoxide dismutase, peroxidase and catalase, is significantly increased in most tissues.
