title: [Activation of peroxisomal acyl-CoA oxidase and lipid peroxidation in the rat myocardium as affected by prolonged administration of ethanol].
abstract: The influence of chronic alcoholic intoxication on the activity of peroxisomal acyl-CoA oxidase and antioxidative defensive enzymes (catalase, glutathione reductase, glutathione-S-transferase, superoxide dismutase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase) was studied in the rat myocardium. The parameters of lipid peroxidation in cardiomyocytes (the level of spontaneous chemiluminescence, accumulation of thiobarbituric acid-reactive material), as well as reduced glutathione content were also examined. The data obtained suggest that ethanol-induced activation of lipid peroxidation in the myocardium may be due to the elevation of hydrogen peroxide-generating activity of peroxisomes.
