Using NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase purified from rat liver microsomes, the oxidation of hydrazine to its radical was proved to proceed smoothly. The catalytic effect of NADPH cytochrome P-450 on the radical formation in the hepatic microsomes obtained from phenobarbital-pretreated rats was also supported by the fact that Hz radical formation was stimulated by flavin adenin dinucleotide or methyl viologen and markedly inhibited by superoxide dismutase, however, carbon monoxide showed no effect. Expectedly, anti-NADPH-cytochrome P-450 IgG decreased the radical formation. The present study provides the first evidence for the NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase catalyzed oxidation of hydrazine to its radical in the presence of O2 and NADPH.

D004578 Electron Spin Resonance Spectroscopy A technique applicable to the wide variety of substances which exhibit paramagnetism because of the magnetic moments of unpaired electrons. The spectra are useful for detection and identification, for determination of electron structure, for study of interactions between molecules, and for measurement of nuclear spins and moments. (From McGraw-Hill Encyclopedia of Science and Technology, 7th edition) Electron nuclear double resonance (ENDOR) spectroscopy is a variant of the technique which can give enhanced resolution. Electron spin resonance analysis can now be used in vivo, including imaging applications such as MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING.

D005609 Free Radicals Highly reactive molecules with an unsatisfied electron valence pair. Free radicals are produced in both normal and pathological processes. Free radicals include reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS). They are proven or suspected agents of tissue damage in a wide variety of circumstances including radiation, damage from environment chemicals, and aging. Natural and pharmacological prevention of free radical damage is being actively investigated. Free Radical

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D001711 Biotransformation The chemical alteration of an exogenous substance by or in a biological system. The alteration may inactivate the compound or it may result in the production of an active metabolite of an inactive parent compound. The alterations may be divided into METABOLIC DETOXICATION, PHASE I and METABOLIC DETOXICATION, PHASE II.
