Abstract

It is now well documented that in most instances, the production and accumulation of reactive intermediates in a living organism depend upon the relative activity of several enzymes (for review, see 1,2,3). Qualitative or quantitative modifications of these enzymatic activities might thus lead either to an enhancement or a decrease in the toxicity of a given chemical. Precise knowledge of the biochemical mechanisms which control these enzymatic systems could be of paramount importance if one wants to predict or modify the biological potential of cells to produce active metabolites.
