  • Title: Inhibition of nitroblue tetrazolium reduction by metallothionein.
    Author: Shiraishi M, Utsumi K, Morimoto S, Joja I, Iida S, Takeda Y, Aono K.
    Journal: Physiol Chem Phys; 1982; 14(6):533-7. PubMed ID: 6897906.
    Abstract:
    Metallothionein inhibited in a concentration-dependent fashion the reduction of nitroblue tetrazolium [NBT] mediated by xanthine oxidase and by NADH-phenazine methosulfate. This catalytic activity of metallothionein for dismutation of O2- is dependent on the copper content in metallothionein.
