1 For this purpose, the effect of heating on the activity of xanthine oxidase (XOD) in tumor cells upon their photosensitization with HPD was examined; this enzyme is participated in purine catabolism and has the ability to generate O2-*, a precursor of H2O2 and very cytotoxic hydroxyl radical. Superoxides xanthine dehydrogenase Mus musculus

3 Experiments showed that the intensification of O2-* formation could be mediated by the stimulatory effects of heating on the activity of XOD; namely, the 12 min treatment of EAC cells by HPD-PDT at a control (30 degrees C) temperature caused an about 2-fold growth in the activity of XOD, whereas the same light exposure at 44 degrees C led already to a 2.7-fold increase in the activity of this enzyme.
