title: Superoxide anion, superoxide dismutase and lipid peroxidation in the murine macrophage cell line C4M phi.
abstract: A remarkable increase in the production of superoxide radicals and SOD activity was measured in suspension of the murine macrophage cell line C4M phi treated with Lentinan (4-10 X 10(3) micrograms/5 X 10(6) cells). In activated macrophages the decrease of lipid peroxidation could be interpreted as a consequence of enhanced SOD activity.
