Melatonin reduces lipid peroxidation and membrane viscosity
INTRODUCTION Lipid peroxidation (LPO) occurs as a result of the oxidative deterioration of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), i.e., those that contain two or more carbon– carbon double bonds. The most apparent feature of the oxidative breakdown of lipids is rancidity, a problem that was recognized centuries ago during the storage of fats and oils. Rancidity persists as a widespread problem in ...
متن کاملLipid Peroxidation and Membrane Aging
This critique points out that a number of possible alterations in cell metabolism could lead to changes in membrane structure and that the observed effects might not necessarily play a primary role in the physiology of aging. Experimental approaches, while not simple, should distinguish causes of altered membrane asymmetry from its consequences. THE idea that cross-linking agents might play a r...
متن کامل6-methoxytryptophol reduces lipopolysaccharide-induced lipid peroxidation in vitro more effectively than melatonin.
Bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) causes lipid peroxidation (LPO). We have found that LPS induces LPO in tissue homogenates in vitro in a concentration-dependent manner, the concentration of 400 μg/ml demonstrating the most efficient lipid damaging effect. Antioxidant properties of melatonin are unquestionable and have been proved both in vivo and in vitro. It has been demonstrated that also m...
متن کاملMelatonin protects against lipid peroxidation and membrane rigidity in erythrocytes from patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass surgery.
The first aim of this study was to test whether there are changes in erythrocyte lipid peroxidation products and membrane fluidity during cardiac surgery involving cardiopulmonary bypass. Secondly, in vitro tests were performed to examine whether melatonin alters induced lipid peroxidation and reduced membrane fluidity in erythrocytes from these patients. Fifteen patients undergoing cardiac sur...
متن کاملMelatonin reduces kainate-induced lipid peroxidation in homogenates of different brain regions.
Melatonin protection against in vitro kainic acid-induced oxidative damage in homogenates from different rat brain regions is shown. Brain-disrupted cell homogenates from cerebral cortex, cerebellum, hippocampus, hypothalamus, and corpus striatum were incubated with kainate (11.7 mM) with or without different concentrations of melatonin (0.1-4 mM). The concentration of malonaldehyde and 4-hydro...
