Effect of dietary vitamin E on methyl ethyl ketone peroxide damage to microsomal cytochrome P-450 peroxidase.
The effect of dietary vitamin E on in vivo and in vitro damage by methyl ethyl ketone peroxide (MEKP) to cytochrome P-450 and its associated enzymatic activity was studied. In vivo, MEKP damaged microsomal cytochrome P-450 and cytochrome P-450-mediated peroxidases in vitamin E-deficient rat liver. Dietary vitamin E treatment of rats protected the microsomal enzymes from peroxide damage. In vitro, the extent of MEKP inhibition was different for tetramethylphenylenediamine (TMPD)-peroxidase, NADH-peroxidase, and aminopyrine demethylase. In vitro addition of MEKP induced production of more thiobarbituric acid reacting substances (TBARS) in liver microsomes from vitamin E-deficient rats than from vitamin E-supplemented rats. When NADH and/or NADPH were supplied as reductants of MEKP, the inhibition of aminopyrine demethylase activity and the generation of TBARS by added MEKP were markedly reduced. In vivo, adequate levels of vitamin E and of NADH and NADPH are probably necessary to provide important protection to the endoplasmic reticulum during metabolism of toxic organic peroxides, such as MEKP.
