A note on the stability of conjugated diene absorption of rat liver microsomal lipids after carbon tetrachloride poisoning.
Liver microsomal lipid peroxidation has been observed in fatal human CCl(4) poisoning, in rats with fatty livers induced by CCl(4) or by yellow phosphorus, and in mice poisoned with 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane. These observations suggest the possibility that other instances of toxic liver injury may involve lipid peroxidation. Cases of acute, fatal, toxic liver injury (e.g., from halothane anesthesia) are not likely to occur at or near laboratories equipped to determine whether any lipid peroxidation might have taken place. The data presented indicate that rat livers may be stored frozen for at least 7 days with no demonstrable diminution in CCl(4)-induced conjugated diene absorption of liver microsomal lipids.
