Paraquat as an agent affecting antioxidant enzymes of common carp erythrocytes.
The effects of paraquat on the superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathionine peroxidase activities and lipid peroxidation at different times of paraquat exposure of Cyprinus carpio morph L. erythrocytes were studied. Typical characteristics were observed in the changes of the enzyme activities of the erythrocytes after exposure to paraquat. The haemoglobin concentration of common carp haemolysates was decreased by exposure to paraquat.
