Depression of phagocytic activity of human polymorphonuclear leukocytes by methyl linoleate hydroperoxides.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Methyl linoleate hydroperoxides (MLHPO), a model for lipid hydroperoxides, decreased fungicidal activity of human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) for fungi of Candida albicans. When PMN was cultured with MLHPO, phagocytosis to fungi was depressed. Degree of the depression was dependent on the concentration of MLHPO and the treatment time with MLHPO. These findings indicate that phagocytic activity of human PMN can be depressed by lipid hydroperoxides.

Antioxidant activity of beta-carotene-related carotenoids in solution.
The effect of the antioxidant activity of beta-carotene and related carotenoids on the free radical-oxidation of methyl linoleate in solution was examined by measuring the production of methyl linoleate hydroperoxides. Canthaxanthin and astaxanthin which possess oxo groups at the 4 and 4'-positions in the beta-ionone ring retarded the hydroperoxide formation more efficiently than beta-carotene ...
متن کاملPhagocytosis of live versus heat-killed bacteria by human polymorphonuclear leukocytes.
Heat-killed Pseudomonas aeruginosa are phagocytized much more slowly by human polymorphonuclear leukocytes than are the live organisms. The post-phagocytic increase in hexose monophosphate shunt activity (HMS) parallels the ingestion of the bacteria. The addition of serum to the live organisms causes a marked increase in both ingestion and cellular HMS activity; serum actually causes an inhibit...
متن کاملThe antioxidative effect of fullerenes during the peroxidation of methyl linoleate in toluene.
The antioxidative effect of fullerenes C(60) and C(70) was examined by measuring the inhibition of methyl linoleate (MeL) peroxidation in toluene initiated by 2,2'-azobis(2,4-dimethylvaleronitrile) (AMVN). The fullerenes retarded the formation of MeL hydroperoxides and lowered the rate of propagation. The reaction rates of fullerenes with AMVN-derived peroxyl radicals were much higher than that...
متن کاملActions of bovine somatotropin on polymorphonuclear leukocytes and lymphocytes in cattle.
Objectives were to determine 1) in vitro effects of bST on function of polymorphonuclear leukocytes and lymphocytes and 2) in vivo effects of bST on leukocyte function of heifers fed to maintain medium or high growth rates. When administered in vitro, bST did not affect function of polymorphonuclear leukocytes. [Methyl-3H]thymidine incorporation by resting lymphocytes was stimulated by 1000 ng/...
متن کاملFunctional and Metabolic Properties of Polymorphonuclear Leucocytes
The effects of a purified bacterial lipopolysaccharide endotoxin on homogenous populations of rabbit polymorphonuclear leucocytes have been studied in vitro under defined conditions. Employing a 500-fold range of concentration (0.1 to 50.0 microg./ml.), it was shown that endotoxin enhanced the rate at which staphylococci were killed by leucocytes. The mechanism underlying the increased killing ...
