title: Protein-bound dinitrosyl-iron complexes appearing in blood of rabbit added with a low-molecular dinitrosyl-iron complex: EPR studies.
abstract: The formation of protein-bound dinitrosyl-iron complexes (DNIC) in blood plasma and packed red cell fraction has been demonstrated by the EPR method in the experiments on rabbits which were i/v injected with the low-molecular DNIC with thiosulphate. This formation was ensured by transfer of Fe(+)(NO(+))(2) moieties from low-molecular DNIC onto serum albumin or hemoglobin molecules. Protein-bound DNICs appeared immediately after low-molecular DNIC injection followed with gradually decreasing their amounts. The complexes could be detected by EPR technique during more than two days. The addition of water-soluble NO scavenger, the iron complex with N-methyl-d-glucamine dithiocarbamate (MGD) resulted in decomposition of a part of protein-bound DNICs and in effective excretion of secondary products (mainly mononitrosyl-iron complexes with MGD) from the blood flow.
