Dihydrolipoic acid as an effective cofactor for peptide methionine sulfoxide reductase in enzymatic repair of oxidative damage to both lipid-free and lipid-bound apolipoprotein a-I.
The aim of this study was to examine the possible use of dihydrolipoic acid (DHLA), the reduced form of lipoic acid, in the reduction of oxidized apolipoprotein A-I mediated by peptide methionine sulfoxide reductase (PMSR), and to test the accessibility of methionine sulfoxides in the lipid-bound oxidized apolipoprotein A-I to this reaction. We show that DHLA acts as an effective cofactor for P...
متن کاملHomocystamides promote free-radical and oxidative damage to proteins.
Elevated levels of homocysteine are associated with several major diseases. However, it is not clear whether homocysteine is a marker or a causative agent. The majority (ca. 80%) of the homocysteine present in humans is protein bound. The study of the posttranslational modification of proteins by homocysteine and its cyclic congener, homocysteine thiolactone, is emerging as an area of great cur...
متن کاملAntioxidant and Prooxidant Activities of -Lipoic Acid and Dihydrolipoic Acid
Reactive oxygen (ROS) and nitrogen oxide (RNOS) species are produced as by-products of oxidative metabolism. A major function for ROS and RNOS is immunological host defense. Recent evidence indicate that ROS and RNOS may also function as signaling molecules. However, high levels of ROS and RNOS have been considered to potentially damage cellular macromolecules and have been implicated in the pa...
متن کاملHydrogen Exchange Equilibria in Glutathione Radicals: Rate Constants
The reduction of oxidized glutathione GSSG by hydrated electrons and hydrogen atoms to form GSSG•⁻ is quantitative. The radical anion dissociates into GS• and GS⁻, and the S-centered radical subsequently abstracts a hydrogen intramolecularly. We observe sequential development of UV absorbance signatures that indicate the formation of both α- and β-carbon-centered radicals. From experiments perf...
متن کاملThe pharmacology of the antioxidant lipoic acid.
1. Lipoic acid is an example of an existing drug whose therapeutic effect has been related to its antioxidant activity. 2. Antioxidant activity is a relative concept: it depends on the kind of oxidative stress and the kind of oxidizable substrate (e.g., DNA, lipid, protein). 3. In vitro, the final antioxidant activity of lipoic acid is determined by its concentration and by its antioxidant prop...
