Development of the cytosolic defence system against microsomal lipid peroxidation in rat liver. 1983

S Fairhurst, and D J Barber, and B Clark, and A A Horton

Ascorbate-induced lipid peroxidation in rat liver microsomes reaches the adult level in 2-3 days. NADPH-induced peroxidation develops more gradually, in parallel with the activity of NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase, attaining adult levels by 10-12 days. The glutathione-dependent cytosolic enzyme activity which inhibits peroxidation is inhibited by bromosulphophthalein. The development of this system lags behind the development of microsomal lipid peroxidation between the ages of 2 and 20 days, allowing peroxidation to proceed.

D007700 Kinetics The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
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.

D009249 NADP Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate. A coenzyme composed of ribosylnicotinamide 5'-phosphate (NMN) coupled by pyrophosphate linkage to the 5'-phosphate adenosine 2',5'-bisphosphate. It serves as an electron carrier in a number of reactions, being alternately oxidized (NADP+) and reduced (NADPH).
