title: [Characteristics of antioxidant properties of 20-hydroxyecdysone in low density lipoproteins by kinetic parameters of chemiluminescence].
abstract: 20-Hydroxyecdysone is capable to terminate the lipid free-radical oxidation in low density lipoprotein in vitro as displayed by the kinetic chemiluminescence parameters. In concentrations interval from 2 x 10(-6) mol/l up to 8 x 10(-6) mol/l it statistically reliably reduces maximum of the first flash intensity of the low density lipoprotein Fe(2+)-initiated chemiluminescence. It testifies about Fe(2+)-initiated lipid peroxide process decomposition in low density lipoprotein slowing down by 20-hydroxyecdysone. In concentration of 20-hydroxyecdysone 8 x 10(-6) mol/l the statistically reliable reduction of angle tangent of an ascending branch of the second flash of low density lipoprotein Fe(2+)-initiated chemiluminescence was found. This is a result of free-radical lipid oxidation rate reduction in the low density lipoprotein at the 20-hydroxyeodysone presence. The equations of the kinetic parameters linear dependences Fe(2+)-initiated chemiluminescence in low density lipoprotein on the concentration of 20-hydroxyeodysone and hydroquinone have been received. The correlation factors in the interval from 0.8980 up to 0.6789 have been calculated. Thus, the assumption has been forwarded that 20-hydroxyeodysone has antioxidizing properties. However, its antioxidizing activity in free radical lipid oxidation of is low density lipoprotein is as less as for hydroquinone.
