[Inhibition of lipid peroxidation by melanoprotein granules]. 1980

N L Sakina, and A E Dontsov, and G P Kuznetsova, and M A Ostrovskiĭ, and A I Archakov

The effects of melanoprotein granules of the eye pigment epithelium and synthetic melanin on lipid peroxidation in rat liver microsomes and azolectin liposomes were studied. It was shown that lipid peroxidation in the microsomes and liposomes induced by ascorbate or the Fe2+ + ascorbate system is effectively inhibited by the melanoprotein granules and synthetic melanin. The enzymatic lipid peroxidation in the microsomes induced by NADPH and NADPH + Fe2+ is insensitive to the effect of the melanoprotein granules, but is inhibited by synthetic melanin. It is assumed that melanin is mainly responsible for the inhibitory action of the melanoprotein granules.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
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.

D008081 Liposomes Artificial, single or multilaminar vesicles (made from lecithins or other lipids) that are used for the delivery of a variety of biological molecules or molecular complexes to cells, for example, drug delivery and gene transfer. They are also used to study membranes and membrane proteins.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D001205 Ascorbic Acid A six carbon compound related to glucose. It is found naturally in citrus fruits and many vegetables. Ascorbic acid is an essential nutrient in human diets, and necessary to maintain connective tissue and bone. Its biologically active form, vitamin C, functions as a reducing agent and coenzyme in several metabolic pathways. Vitamin C is considered an antioxidant.
