چکیده
Glutathione (GSH) dependent protection against oxidative damage of human red cell membrane was examined. An artificial system was used in which chloroform/methanolextracted red cell lipids. in the form of liposomes. were subjected to attack by a peroxidation system consisting of ascorbate-Fe3 . Human erythrocytes contained a nondialyzable factor. completely inactivated by heating in a boiling water bath for 3 mm. which showed GSH-dependent

Glutathione-dependent protection against oxidative damage of the human red cell membrane.
Glutathione (GSH) dependent protection against oxidative damage of human red cell membrane was examined. An artificial system was used in which chloroform/methanol-extracted red cell lipids, in the form of liposomes, were subjected to attack by a peroxidation system consisting of ascorbate-Fe3+. Human erythrocytes contained a nondialyzable factor, completely inactivated by heating in a boiling ...
متن کاملOxidative membrane damage and its involvement in gamma radiation-induced apoptotic cell death.
Background: Recent results have provided increasing evidence to support involvement of membrane damage in the mechanism of ionizing radiation induced killing of mammalian cells. These findings have stimulated renewed interest in evaluating the damage to membrane as a primary initiator in radiation-induced cell killing especially in apoptotic death. The present study was aimed to gain deeper ins...
متن کاملCell membrane damage by iron nanoparticles: an invitro study
Application of nanotechnology in medicinal and biological fields has attracted a great interest in the recent yeras. In this paper the cell membrane leakage induced by iron nanoparticles (Fe-NP) against PC12 cell line which is known as a model of nervous system cell line was investigated by the lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) test. Therefore, PC12 cells were incubated with different concentration o...
متن کاملOxidative Stress-Induced DNA Damage and Repair in Human Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells: Protective Role of Hemoglobin
BACKGROUND DNA repair is a cellular defence mechanism responding to DNA damage caused in large part by oxidative stress. There is a controversy with regard to the effect of red blood cells on DNA damage and cellular response. AIM To investigate the effect of red blood cells on H2O2-induced DNA damage and repair in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells. METHODS DNA breaks were induced in ...
متن کاملPlasma membrane Ca(2+)-ATPase sulfhydryl modifications: implication for oxidized red cell.
A common perturbation found in cells under oxidative stress is alteration in cellular Ca2+ homeostasis. In order to understand the effects of such oxidative damage, human red cell plasma membrane Ca(2+)-ATPase (PMCA) was studied by measuring PMCA activity, both in the presence and absence of calmodulin (CaM), following treatment with sulfhydryl agents, N-ethylmaleimide, iodoacetate and diamide....
