The role of iron in the NADPH-dependent lipid peroxidation due to glutathione depletion by phorone. 1984

M Younes, and M Albrecht, and C P Siegers

Enhanced NADPH-dependent LPO in rat liver postmitochondrial supernatants in vitro due to depletion of GSH by treatment with phorone (diisopropylidene acetone) in vivo was inhibited by Fe2+-chelating agents (desferrioxamine, DETAPAC), but not by scavengers of .O2-, H2O2, singlet oxygen or .OH-radicals, indicating that a perferryl ion (Fe2+ . O2) is needed as an initiating factor. In vivo, rats treated with phorone (250 mg/kg i.p.) exhaled 1.4 times as much ethane within 4 h as compared to controls. Pretreatment with FeSO4 resulted in a 6.9-fold enhancement of LPO as compared to Fe2+-pretreated controls. Our results indicate that GSH-depletion results in a strong enhancement of NADPH-dependent LPO also in vivo, provided that an initiating factor is present.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007501 Iron A metallic element with atomic symbol Fe, atomic number 26, and atomic weight 55.85. It is an essential constituent of HEMOGLOBINS; CYTOCHROMES; and IRON-BINDING PROTEINS. It plays a role in cellular redox reactions and in the transport of OXYGEN. Iron-56,Iron 56
D007659 Ketones Organic compounds containing a carbonyl group Ketone
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).
