Effect of chronic ethanol treatment on the t-butyl hydroperoxide-dependent lipid peroxidation in rat liver.
1. The effect of chronic ethanol consumption on the level of the t-butyl hydroperoxide (Bu'OOH)-induced lipid peroxidation in rat liver homogenate and subcellular fractions was measured using chemiluminescence technique and malondialdehyde formation. 2. It was shown that under the action of ethanol the rate of lipid peroxidation was decreased in the whole and "postnuclear" liver homogenates. 3. Ethanol significantly decreased the intensity of lipid peroxidation in microsomes, but did not affect the Bu'OOH-dependent process in mitochondria. 4. The level of lipid peroxidation was reduced after incubation of the total particulate fraction (mitochondria plus microsomes) with the undialysed cytosol from ethanol-treated rat liver. Dialysis of the cytosol prevented depressive effect of ethanol treatment on lipid peroxidation. 5. Reduced glutathione (0.1-1.0 mM) was shown to decrease the rate of lipid peroxidation in rat liver microsomes, but did not affect its level in mitochondria. 6. Pyrazole injections to rats reduced and phenobarbital treatment increased the level of the Bu'OOH-dependent lipid peroxidation in liver microsomes. 7. The data obtained indicate that the Bu'OOH-dependent lipid peroxidation is not an appropriate marker of the ethanol-induced oxidative stress in rat liver cells.
