title: Effect of a heme-peptide derived from cytochrome-c on lipid peroxidation. I. Effects on brain microsomes.
abstract: Heme-nonapeptide inhibits NADH and NADPH dependent lipid peroxidation of brain microsomes in the presence or absence of ADP-Fe complex. The transient accumulation of lipid peroxides during NADH or NADPH dependent, ADP-Fe stimulated lipid peroxidation, is inhibited by heme-nonapeptide. Oxygen consumption of brain microsomes in the presence of NADH or NADPH is stimulated by heme-nonapeptide. Reduction of cytochrome-c and nitro-tetrazolium-blue by O2- generated by xanthine oxidase is inhibited by heme-nonapeptide.
