Prevention of Copper-mediated Lipoprotein Oxidation by Heme-containing Proteins from the Plasma of Japanese Eel Anguilla japonica.
نویسنده
چکیده
A brown-colored fraction containing heme was separated from the lipoprotein-free plasma of Japanese eel (Anguilla japonica). This fraction prevented the oxidation of very-low-density lipoprotein incubated with CuSO4 ranging in concentration from 0.5 to 3 μM. The antioxidant activity seemed to derive from the heme-binding proteins of the brown-colored fraction.

Apolipoprotein complexity in Japanese eel Anguilla japonica: truncated apolipoprotein A-I and apolipoprotein A-I-like protein in plasma lipoproteins.
A truncated apolipoprotein (apo) A-I with a molecular weight (M(r)) of 26 kDa was first isolated from the plasma high density lipoproteins of an atypical Japanese eel (Anguilla japonica). Interestingly, this eel contained a very small amount of intact apoA-I (M(r)28 kDa) in the plasma, although serine protease inhibitors were present throughout the plasma preparation. The N-terminal sequence of...

The oxidative modification of low density lipoprotein (LDL) may play an important role in atherogenesis. Antioxidants that can prevent LDL oxidation may act as antiatherogens. Our understanding of the mechanism of LDL oxidation and factors that determine its susceptibility to oxidation is still incomplete. Copper is a candidate for oxidizing LDL in atherosclerotic lesions. The binding of copper...
متن کاملAndrogens and very low density lipoprotein are essential for the growth of previtellogenic oocytes from Japanese eel, Anguilla japonica, in vitro.
To investigate the regulation of lipid uptake into the eel oocyte in more detail, effects of 11-ketotestosterone (11-KT) and lipid transporters (lipoproteins) were determined in vitro. Ovarian explants from previtellogenic Japanese eels (Anguilla japonica) were incubated for 28 days with 11-KT and/or with very low density lipoproteins (Vldl), low density lipoproteins (Ldl), or high density lipo...
