Butylated hydroxyanisole-stimulated NADPH oxidase activity in rat liver microsomal fractions.
NADPH-dependent oxygen utilization by liver microsomal fractions was stimulated by the addition of increasing concentrations of butylated hydroxyanisole concomitant with the inhibition of benzphetamine N-demethylase activity. The apparent conversion of monooxygenase activity to an oxidase-like activity in the presence of the antioxidant was correlated with the partial recovery of the reducing e...
متن کاملHepatoprotective effect of food preservatives (butylated hydroxyanisole, butylated hydroxytoluene) on carbon tetrachloride-induced hepatotoxicity in rat
Carbon tetrachloride (CCl4), a hepatotoxic agent is widely used to study the toxic mechanisms in experimental animals. This study was carried out to establish the hepatoprotective measures of food preservative antioxidants butylated hydroxyanisole and butylated hydroxytolune (BHA, BHT) when mixed with food towards carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) intoxication (230 mg/ kg b wt/rat/day) in rat. Bioche...
متن کاملNADPPH-Specific Flavoprotein in Rat Liver Microsomal Fractions
Inrat liver microsomal fractions oxidation of adrenaline was effected by superoxide anion radicals (A), whereas cytochrome c, 2,6-dichlorophenol-indophenol and ferricyanide accepted electrons from NADPH-specific filavoprotein only directly. Nitro Blue Tetrazolium was reduced both by 02and by tbe direct acceptance of electrons. Elevation ofpH and addition of menadione shift the Nitro Blue Tetraz...
متن کاملHomocysteine activates NADH/NADPH oxidase through ceramide-stimulated Rac GTPase activity in rat mesangial cells.
BACKGROUND We recently demonstrated that homocysteine (Hcys) increases superoxide (O2-) production via NADH/NADPH oxidase in renal mesangial cells. This O2- production contributes to increased expression of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase (TIMP-1) and consequent deposition of collagen in response to Hcys. However, the mechanism by which Hcys activates NADH/NADPH oxidase remains unknown. G...
متن کاملPurification of a soluble rat liver protein that stimulates microsomal 4-methyl sterol oxidase activity.
A soluble rat liver protein that stimulates microsomal methyl sterol oxidase activity has been isolated and purified to homogeneity by salt fractionation, differential heat inactivation, two calcium phosphate gel association, and Sephadex filtration. The protein, as isolated, may be dissociated with detergent into subunits with a molecular weight of approximately 10,300, as determined electroph...
