Resumen:
Introduction: Species of inorganic arsenic produce oxidative stress, generating free radicals and reactive oxygen species. These species react with lipids, proteins, pigments and nucleic acids, producing lipoperoxidation, enzymatic inactivation, so affecting the cellular viability. Objectives: a-Determine lipoperoxidaci.n parameters like TBARS (Thiobarbituric acid reactive species). b- Measure reduced Glutathione (GSH), non protein thiols (TNP) and phytochelatins (FQ), in leaves and roots of Glycine max. L. Materials and Methods: Roots and leaves with 24 and 72 h of intoxication with arsenic (16 and 160 mM), in plants with 10 days of development, using like control plants with equal development free of arsenic. MDA was measured according to Heath (1968). GSH by the method of Anderson (1985), TNP by Gallego, (1999) and FQ were determined by difference between the TNP and GSH. Results: TBARS showed a significant increase in leaves (p<0.001), roots showed a significant decreased (p<0.01). TNP showed a similar behavior respect to TBARS in leaves (p<0.01), in roots a decrease was observed at 24 h (p<0.01). GSH increased in leaves (p<0.001), in roots decreased (p<0.05). FQ decreased with 24h of treatment (p<0.001), in roots. Conclusions: While in leaves an oxidative stress was observed and GSH as a non enzymatic defense parameter began to act, in roots the metabolic behavior is different. With higher As concentration and 72 h of treatment an oxidative stress is verified in soybean plants.
