Enzymatic detoxication of superoxide anion-radicals and lipoperoxides in intima and media of atherosclerotic aorta. 1984

V Z Lankin, and A M Vikhert, and V A Kosykh, and A K Tikhaze, and I E Galakhov, and A N Orekhov, and V N Repin

Unusually high activities of the "antioxidative" enzymes (superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase) have been found in the cells isolated from the intima and media of normal human aorta. The activities of "antioxidative" enzymes of the intima and media of the human aorta in different types of atherosclerotic lesions (lipid spots, fibrous plaques) have been demonstrated to be greatly lowered.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008054 Lipid Peroxides Peroxides produced in the presence of a free radical by the oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids in the cell in the presence of molecular oxygen. The formation of lipid peroxides results in the destruction of the original lipid leading to the loss of integrity of the membranes. They therefore cause a variety of toxic effects in vivo and their formation is considered a pathological process in biological systems. Their formation can be inhibited by antioxidants, such as vitamin E, structural separation or low oxygen tension.

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
