چکیده

Different techniques for the measurement of lipid peroxidation in isolated hepatocytes have been compared. Measurements of ethane production, chemiluminescence and fluorescent products correlated extremely well with those of malondialdehyde formation. Of the five different techniques studied, measurements of ethane production and chemiluminescence were found to the the most sensitive indices of lipid peroxidation. Incubation of hepatocytes for up to 4 hr in the presence of ethylmorphine and aminopyrine, at concentrations known to stimulate H2O2 production, completely failed to increase the amount of chemiluminescence, malondialdehyde or ethane produced in these cells, indicating that the drug-stimulated production of H2O2 did not lead to an increased rate of lipid peroxidation, as cells under the experimental conditions employed. The relationship between lipid peroxidation, as measured by chemiluminescence and ethane production, and the cytotoxic effects of bromobenzene and carbon tetrachloride has also been studied. The results obrained further indicate that lipid peroxidation is an important even in carbon tetrachloride hepatotoxicity, but that it appears to be only a subsequent event in bromobenzene toxicity, possibly occurring only as a result of glutathione depletion and cell death.

Iron Overload Induced Apoptotic Cell Death in Isolated Rat Hepatocytes Mediated by Reactive Oxygen Species

Isolated rat hepatocytes in culture were incubated with different concentrations of iron-sorbitol (50, 100, 150, and 200 µM) to assess the changes in reactive oxygen species (ROS) and lipid peroxidation leading to apoptotic hepatocyte cell death. The viability of hepatocytes was declined depending on the iron concentration. One hour incubation of the cells with 100 µM iron resulted in decreased...

Crocin Prevents Sub-Cellular Organelle Damage, Proteolysis and Apoptosis in Rat Hepatocytes: A Justification for Its Hepatoprotection

Crocin, the main constituent of saffron (Crocus sativus L.), is a natural carotenoid which is known for its antioxidant activity. Liver as the organ that metabolizes many chemicals is one of the first position that is at risk of environmental pollutants. It is clear that compounds that exhibit antioxidant properties, scavenging of free radicals and inhibition of lipid peroxidation are expected ...

Involvement of Cytochrome P-450 in n-Butyl Nitrite-Induced Hepatocyte Cytotoxicity

      Addition of n-butyl nitrite to isolated rat hepatocytes caused an immediate glutathione depletion followed by an inhibition of mitochondrial respiration, inhi- bition of glycolysis and ATP depletion. At cytotoxic butyl nitrite concentrations, lipid  peroxidation  occurred  before  the  plasma  membrane  was  disrupted. Cytochrome P-450 inhibitors inhibited peroxynitrite formation and prev...
