background: lipid peroxidation is known to cause various impairments to sperm cells and may play a major role in the etiology of male infertility. asthenospermia is the main factor of male infertility and has significantly higher level of peroxidation than in normozoospermic males. materials and methods: using thiobarbituric acid (tba) assay procedure, we have determined the level of lipid pero...
Addition of thenoyltrifluoracetone to mitochondria oxidizing NAD-dependent substrates induced lipid peroxidation and uncoupling of oxidative phosphorylation. Butylated hydroxytoluene, an antioxidant, prevented accumulation of lipid peroxidation products but failed to prevent deenergization of the mitochondria.
Nitro-polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (nitro-PAHs) are a class of genotoxic environmental contaminants. We have long been interested in determining the mechanisms by which nitro-PAHs induce genotoxicity. Although the metabolic activation of nitro-PAHs leading to toxicological activities has been well studied, the photo-induced activation of nitro-PAHs has seldom been reported. In this paper, w...
The relationship between adenylate cyclase activity in the synaptic membrane fraction (M1) of rat brain and lipid peroxidation of these membranes was examined. In the presence of 5 mM dithiothreitol (DTT), 1 to 10 microM Fe/+ activated adenylate cyclase 2- to 4-fold. Of several metal ions, Fe2+ was the most effective. Other enzymes in M1, such as Mg2+-ATPase, (Na+-K+)-ATPase, 5'-nucleotidase, a...
The present study has examined the effect of elevated glucose levels on membrane lipid peroxidation and osmotic fragility in human red blood cells (RBC). Defibrinated whole blood or RBC were incubated with varying concentrations of glucose at 37 degrees C for 24 h. RBC incubated with elevated levels of glucose showed a significantly increased membrane lipid peroxidation when compared with contr...
NO is produced endogenously from arginine by the action of NO synthase, and exogenously by nitrovasodilators, including organic nitrates and nitrites. NO has been proposed as a cytotoxic and cytoprotective agent. There is strong evidence that NO acts as an apparent antioxidant in inhibiting lipid peroxidation, via chain termination, and interestingly lipid nitrates and nitrites have been propos...
Lipid peroxidation of lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] by defined oxygen-centred free radicals (O2-/OH, O2-, O2-/HO2) produced by gamma radiolysis was compared with that of paired samples of low-density lipoprotein (LDL). Lp(a) appeared to be more resistant to oxidation than LDL, as indicated by the kinetic study of four markers of lipid peroxidation; decrease in vitamin E, formation of conjugated dienes...
The effects of L-cysteine on mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) in mouse brain were investigated both in vivoandin vitro. An intracerebroventricular (icv) injection of L-cysteine (1.25 micromol/animal) caused mtDNA damage in brain frontal and central portions of the cortex, broad-spectrum limbic and severe sustained seizures in mice, and increased lipid peroxidation in the whole brain. The L-cysteine-me...
Lipid peroxidation in vitro was tested by malonaldehyde production in gastrointestinal mucosa and compared with other tissues. It was observed that gastrointestinal mucosa was resistant to both non-enzymatic and enzymatic lipid peroxidation. This was due to the presence of an inhibitor of lipid peroxidation in the membranous fractions of intestinal mucosa. This inhibitor was capable of inhibiti...
The study was designed with an aim to evaluate the protective effects of reduced glutathione on cyclophosphamide induced lipid peroxidation and also changes in cholesterol content. Goat liver and white New Zealand rabbit were used as lipid source for the models. Lipid peroxidation study was performed by measuring the malondialdehyde, 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal, reduced glutathione and nitric oxide con...
