Abstract: A single intraperitoneal injection of lead acetate (200 mg/kg body weight) increased the lipid peroxidation potential (LPP) measured as thiobarbituric acid-reactive substance (TBA-RS) in different tissues of Swiss mice. All the tissues taken for experimentation, generated significantly higher amount of TBA-RS in lead-treated mice when compared with the respective control value. However, none of the tissues could correspond to the control value after the lapse of four weeks post-treatment. Possibilities of differential responsiveness of tissues to generate lipid peroxides in lead-treated mice have been discussed.
