[Cryoresistance of rat liver endoplasmic reticulum membranes].
The effects of freezing of microsomes in liquid nitrogen and those of storage of microsomal suspensions at 2-4 degrees C and -3 - -5 degrees C for 24 hrs, on the enzymatic activities and hydrophobicity of membranes were studied. The hydrophobicity was determined by fluorescence of bound 1,8-anilino-naphthalene sulfonate. Rapid freezing of the microsomal suspension in liquid nitrogen followed by rapid warming did not change the hydrophobicity of the membranes, the rate of enzymatic lipid peroxidation, the level of cytochrome P-450 and the activity of NADH- and NADPH-cytochrome c reductase. A considerable decrease in the rate of enzymatic lipid peroxidation and membrane hydrophobicity was observed in the microsomes stored for 24 hrs at 2-4 degrees C. The 24-hr storage at -3 - -5 degrees C with subsequent thawing resulted in a rapid aggregation of the microsomes.
