Oxygen radical generation by isolated microsomes from soybean seedlings.
The generation of active oxygen species by microsomes isolated from soybean seedlings was studied. NADPH-dependent superoxide anion production was 5.0 +/- 0.4 nmol . min(-1) mg(-1) of microsomal protein. Hydrogen peroxide generation by microsomes was 1.40 +/- 0.05 nmol . min(-1) mg(-1) of protein. Hydroxyl radical production, in the presence of ferric EDTA, evaluated through the generation of f...
متن کاملSpontaneous oxygen radical generation by sickle erythrocytes.
Since the various membrane abnormalities of sickle erythrocytes might result from excessive accumulation of oxidant damage, we have measured the generation of superoxide, peroxide, and hydroxyl radical by normal and sickle erythrocytes using assays involving reduction of cytochrome c, aminotriazole inhibition of catalase, and methane evolution from dimethyl sulfoxide, respectively. Compared wit...
متن کاملOxygen-based free radical generation by ferrous ions and deferoxamine.
Deferoxamine accelerates the autooxidation of iron as measured by the rapid disappearance of Fe2+, the associated appearance of Fe3+, and the uptake of oxygen. Protons are released in the reaction. The formation of H2O2 was detected by the horseradish peroxidase-catalyzed oxidation of scopoletin, and the formation of hydroxyl radicals (OH.) was suggested by the formation of the OH. spin trap ad...
متن کاملOxygen radical formation induced by gossypol in rat liver microsomes and human sperm.
Gossypol, a polyphenolic compound found in cotton plants, has many potential uses, including use as a male antifertility drug and spermicide. Gossypol affects a variety of cell processes and many of these effects may be explained by a common underlying mechanism. Here we report that gossypol promotes the formation of oxygen radicals when incubated with rat liver microsomes and human sperm sugge...
متن کاملNaphthoquinone-dependent generation of superoxide radicals by quinone reductase isolated from the plasma membrane of soybean.
Using a tetrazolium-based assay, a NAD(P)H oxidoreductase was purified from plasma membranes prepared from soybean (Glycine max) hypocotyls. The enzyme, a tetramer of 85 kD, produces O2(.-) by a reaction that depended on menadione or several other 1,4-naphthoquinones, in apparent agreement with a classification as a one-electron-transferring flavoenzyme producing semiquinone radicals. However, ...
