Discrepancy between the different subcellular activities of rat liver catalase and superoxide dismutases in response to acute ethanol administration. 1985

C Ribière, and J Sinaceur, and J Nordmann, and R Nordmann

After acute ethanol administration (2.3 g/kg) peroxisomal and extra-peroxisomal catalase activities were affected in opposite directions. As long as ethanol was present, peroxisomal catalase activity was enhanced, but unaffected by amino-triazole (AT) injection. Extra-peroxisomal catalase activity was decreased during the 24hr following ethanol administration and was also inhibited after AT injection. Whereas mitochondrial manganese-dependent superoxide dismutase (Mn-SOD) was unaffected, the cytosolic Cu,Zn-SOD activity was decreased. The time-course of this decrease suggests that acute ethanol administration affects primarily extra-peroxisomal catalase activity, thus rendering cytosolic superoxide dismutase more exposed to oxygen derivatives.

D008830 Microbodies Electron-dense cytoplasmic particles bounded by a single membrane, such as PEROXISOMES; GLYOXYSOMES; and glycosomes. Glycosomes,Glycosome,Microbody
D008930 Mitochondria, Liver Mitochondria in hepatocytes. As in all mitochondria, there are an outer membrane and an inner membrane, together creating two separate mitochondrial compartments: the internal matrix space and a much narrower intermembrane space. In the liver mitochondrion, an estimated 67% of the total mitochondrial proteins is located in the matrix.

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

D000431 Ethanol A clear, colorless liquid rapidly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and distributed throughout the body. It has bactericidal activity and is used often as a topical disinfectant. It is widely used as a solvent and preservative in pharmaceutical preparations as well as serving as the primary ingredient in ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES.
