Variations due to hyperoxia and ageing in the activities of glutathione S-transferase and NADPH-cytochrome c reductase. 1987

P Blanco, and A Machado, and J Satrústegui

We have studied the influence of hyperoxia and ageing on the activities of NADPH-cytochrome c reductase and glutathione S-transferase in different rat organs. Lung glutathione S-transferase activity increases markedly in 5-day-old pups exposed to hyperoxia, as observed for the O2- scavenging enzyme, superoxide dismutase. The levels of NADPH-cytochrome c reductase increase as well but after a 3-day lag period. In the liver, there is a pronounced decrease of both activities in 24-month-old rats, but at 12 months the activity of glutathione S-transferase increases whereas that of NADPH cytochrome c reductase activity decreases with respect to 3 months. The pattern of variations with age of NADPH cytochrome c reductase is similar in liver and brain. However the behaviour of brain glutathione S-transferase parallels that of the liver enzyme only up to 12 months. Thereafter the brain activity is maintained at a high level. These observations open the possibility that the high glutathione S-transferase levels in the old rat brain might be involved in protection towards oxidative alterations during ageing.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008168 Lung Either of the pair of organs occupying the cavity of the thorax that effect the aeration of the blood. Lungs
D008264 Macrophages The relatively long-lived phagocytic cell of mammalian tissues that are derived from blood MONOCYTES. Main types are PERITONEAL MACROPHAGES; ALVEOLAR MACROPHAGES; HISTIOCYTES; KUPFFER CELLS of the liver; and OSTEOCLASTS. They may further differentiate within chronic inflammatory lesions to EPITHELIOID CELLS or may fuse to form FOREIGN BODY GIANT CELLS or LANGHANS GIANT CELLS.

D009245 NADH Dehydrogenase A flavoprotein and iron sulfur-containing oxidoreductase that catalyzes the oxidation of NADH to NAD. In eukaryotes the enzyme can be found as a component of mitochondrial electron transport complex I. Under experimental conditions the enzyme can use CYTOCHROME C GROUP as the reducing cofactor. The enzyme was formerly listed as EC 1.6.2.1. NADH Cytochrome c Reductase,Diaphorase (NADH Dehydrogenase),NADH (Acceptor) Oxidoreductase,NADH Cytochrome c Oxidoreductase,Dehydrogenase, NADH

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
D005982 Glutathione Transferase A transferase that catalyzes the addition of aliphatic, aromatic, or heterocyclic FREE RADICALS as well as EPOXIDES and arene oxides to GLUTATHIONE. Addition takes place at the SULFUR. It also catalyzes the reduction of polyol nitrate by glutathione to polyol and nitrite.
