  • Title: Enhancement of enzyme-catalyzed production of reactive oxygen species by suspensions of "crocidolite" asbestos fibres.
    Author: Elstner EF, Schütz W, Vogl G.
    Journal: Free Radic Res Commun; 1986; 1(6):355-9. PubMed ID: 2851503.
    Abstract:
    Ethylene release from methylthio-ketobutyric acid is an indicator for activated oxygen species of the OH.-radical type. Xanthine oxidase plus xanthine or diaphorase in the presence of NADH and juglone produce OH.-type oxy-radicals. The production of reactive oxygen species in these enzymatic systems is enhanced by "crocidolite" asbestos fibres.
