Ascorbate-Fe3+-induced and NADPH-induced lipid peroxidation of rat liver microsomes were inhibited by glutathione (GSH). This inhibition was due to microsomal GSH-dependent factor. This factor was heat labile, and storage of microsomes at 4 degrees C for 1 week diminished the activity. GSH could not be substituted by other sulfhydryl compounds tested. Deoxycholate (1 mM) and bromosulfophthalein (0.1 mM) inhibited GSH-dependent protection but did not inhibit microsomal GSH peroxidase activity. Iodoacetate (10 mM) inhibited GSH-dependent protection but did not inhibit microsomal GSH S-transferase. N-Ethylmaleimide (0.1 mM) and oxidized glutathione (10 mM) inhibited GSH-dependent protection but activated microsomal GSH S-transferase activity. These results indicate the existence of a heat-labile, microsomal GSH-dependent protective factor against lipid peroxidation that acts through a factor other than GSH-peroxidase and GSH S-transferase.
