We have investigated the direct effect of copper on malondialdehyde formation in rat isolated hepatocytes. Copper was found to decrease the cell viability with concomitant production of malondialdehyde in a time related manner. In addition the protein kinase C activator, PMA, was found to have a synergistic effect with copper on rat hepatocytes. These results indicate that protein kinase C may be important in mediating hepatotoxicity after exposure to copper.

D008099 Liver A large lobed glandular organ in the abdomen of vertebrates that is responsible for detoxification, metabolism, synthesis and storage of various substances. Livers
D008315 Malondialdehyde The dialdehyde of malonic acid. Malonaldehyde,Propanedial,Malonylaldehyde,Malonyldialdehyde,Sodium Malondialdehyde,Malondialdehyde, Sodium
D011493 Protein Kinase C An serine-threonine protein kinase that requires the presence of physiological concentrations of CALCIUM and membrane PHOSPHOLIPIDS. The additional presence of DIACYLGLYCEROLS markedly increases its sensitivity to both calcium and phospholipids. The sensitivity of the enzyme can also be increased by PHORBOL ESTERS and it is believed that protein kinase C is the receptor protein of tumor-promoting phorbol esters.
