Mechanisms of the inhibitory effect of vitamin E on the process of lipid peroxidation (LPO) in biological membranes are studied. Both alpha-tocopherol and its derivatives (a-tocopherylacetate, o- and p-tocopherylquinones possess no radical scavenging activity) inhibit non-enzymatic (Fe2+ + ascorbate)-induced LPO and prevent LPO-dependent inhibition of Ca2+ transport in sarcoplasmic reticulum membranes from skeletal muscles. The protective effect of alpha-tocopherylacetate, tocopherilquinones and partially of alpha-tocopherol is due to a stabilizing effect of these compounds on sarcoplasmic reticulum membranes, registered by a decrease of fluidity of membrane lipid bilayer (probed by nitroxile radical TEMPO) and by a decrease of its passive permeability for Ca2+. Under the enzymatic NADPH-dependent LPO induction in rat liver microsomal fraction a strong inhibitory effect of tocopherylquinones is similar to the effect of other electron acceptors (methylnaphtoquinone, TEMPO) and is due to their ability to compete with LPO reaction for reducing equivalents in NADPH-dependent electron carriers wich results in the formation of hydroxy-derivatives having pronounced radical scavenging activity.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008563 Membrane Lipids Lipids, predominantly phospholipids, cholesterol and small amounts of glycolipids found in membranes including cellular and intracellular membranes. These lipids may be arranged in bilayers in the membranes with integral proteins between the layers and peripheral proteins attached to the outside. Membrane lipids are required for active transport, several enzymatic activities and membrane formation.

D008862 Microsomes, Liver Closed vesicles of fragmented endoplasmic reticulum created when liver cells or tissue are disrupted by homogenization. They may be smooth or rough. Liver Microsomes,Liver Microsome,Microsome, Liver
D009132 Muscles Contractile tissue that produces movement in animals. Muscle Tissue,Muscle,Muscle Tissues,Tissue, Muscle,Tissues, Muscle
D010084 Oxidation-Reduction A chemical reaction in which an electron is transferred from one molecule to another. The electron-donating molecule is the reducing agent or reductant; the electron-accepting molecule is the oxidizing agent or oxidant. Reducing and oxidizing agents function as conjugate reductant-oxidant pairs or redox pairs (Lehninger, Principles of Biochemistry, 1982, p471). Redox,Oxidation Reduction
D010545 Peroxides A group of compounds that contain a bivalent O-O group, i.e., the oxygen atoms are univalent. They can either be inorganic or organic in nature. Such compounds release atomic (nascent) oxygen readily. Thus they are strong oxidizing agents and fire hazards when in contact with combustible materials, especially under high-temperature conditions. The chief industrial uses of peroxides are as oxidizing agents, bleaching agents, and initiators of polymerization. (From Hawley's Condensed Chemical Dictionary, 11th ed) Peroxide
D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.

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. Animal,Metazoa,Animalia
D001692 Biological Transport The movement of materials (including biochemical substances and drugs) through a biological system at the cellular level. The transport can be across cell membranes and epithelial layers. It also can occur within intracellular compartments and extracellular compartments. Transport, Biological,Biologic Transport,Transport, Biologic
D012519 Sarcoplasmic Reticulum A network of tubules and sacs in the cytoplasm of SKELETAL MUSCLE FIBERS that assist with muscle contraction and relaxation by releasing and storing calcium ions. Reticulum, Sarcoplasmic,Reticulums, Sarcoplasmic,Sarcoplasmic Reticulums
