Effect of chronic ethanol treatment on lipid peroxidation in rat liver homogenate and subcellular fractions.
1. The effect of chronic ethanol treatment on the level of lipid peroxidation in rat liver homogenate and subcellular fractions was measured using chemiluminescence technique and malondialdehyde formation. 2. It was shown that after chronic ethanol treatment the level of Fe/ADP-ascorbate-induced lipid peroxidation was decreased in the whole and "postnuclear" liver homogenates. Dilution of the homogenates prevented depressive effect of ethanol on lipid peroxidation. 3. Chronic ethanol treatment did not affect the intensity of the Fe/ADP-ascorbate-induced process in rat liver mitochondria and microsomes. 4. Peroxidative alteration of the liver lipids in vivo was evaluated by measurement of conjugated dienes (absorbance at 233 nm). It was shown that ethanol did not increase the level of u.v. absorption of lipids from mitochondria and microsomes. Chronic alcohol treatment did not influence the steady-state concentration of malonic dialdehyde in the whole liver homogenate. 5. The data obtained indicate that cytosol from the ethanol treated rat liver contains a factor(s) which prevents Fe/ADP-ascorbate-dependent lipid peroxidation in biological membranes.
