Human placental lipid peroxidation. Some characteristics of the NADPH-supported microsomal reaction.

چکیده
1. The evidence presented in this paper indicates the existence of NADPH-supported lipid peroxidation in human placental microsomes. Thiobarbituric acid assay was used to estimate quantitatively lipid peroxidation. 2. Several biochemical characteristics of the reaction were examined. Maximal lipid peroxidation occurred at pH 7.4 and at a protein concentration of approx. 0.2 mg microsomal protein/ml. The presence of NADPH and chelated iron was required. The reaction was linear up to 5 min and did not exhibit an initial lag phase. 3. Under optimal assay conditions, the rate of lipid peroxidation ranged from 2 to 6 nmol malondialdehyde formed/min/mg protein in different preparations of placental microsomes. 4. Inconclusive results were obtained when assays were performed in the presence of scavengers of reactive oxygen species. 5. Marked inhibition in the malondialdehyde accumulation was observed when phosphate buffer was added to the incubation media. 6. This inhibitory effect appeared to be due to the removal of chelated iron from the system and not due to interference with the electron transport mechanism.

Human placental lipid peroxidation--II. NADPH and iron dependent stimulation of microsomal lipid peroxidation by paraquat.
Paraquat, a widely used herbicide, was found to cause a marked stimulation of lipid peroxidation in the human placental microsomes in vitro. Both NADPH and chelated iron were necessary to observe paraquat-stimulated lipid peroxidation. The malondialdehyde accumulation in the incubation medium increased with increase in time, protein and paraquat concentration. The reaction did not exhibit the i...

NADPH-cytochrome c reductase in rat liver microsomes was solubilized by bromelain digestion and purified to homogeneity. An antibody preparation obtained by immunization with this enzyme was found to inhibit the NADPHcytochrome c reductase activity of both the purified enzyme and intact microsomes by more than 90%. This antibody also inhibited the NADPH-dependent peroxidation of microsomal lipi...

Pentane was measured in a mixture of guinea pig liver microsomes and carbontetrachloride (CCl4) in the presence of nicotineamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) and under anaerobic conditions by gas chromatography. Pentane of 0.2 pmol/mg protein/min was formed in the presence of NADPH without CCl4. Pentane formation increased to 2.0 pmol/mg protein/min in the presence of CCl4 and NADPH. ...

This discrepancy may be partially explained by the difference of the levels of various microsomal enzymes which are modified with a vitamin E-deficient diet. As for influencing factors on lipid peroxidation, it is known that superoxide dismutase inhibits the NADPH-cyt. c reductase catalyzing lipid peroxidation (3) and that...
