Abstract
In contrast with other inhibitors of the NADH dehydrogenase of the respiratory chain, the decarboxylated dimer of aminoethylcysteine ketimine protects bovine heart submitochondrial particles (SMP) from the NADH-Fe(+3)-ADP-induced lipid peroxidation. This effect, measured as inhibition of malondialdehyde formation, is concentration-dependent in the range 0.02-0.2 mM. This range of concentration is not inhibitory on NADH-oxidase activity of SMP. Furthermore the dimer is able to counteract the malondialdehyde formation stimulated by the Complex I inhibitors rotenone and N-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium (MPP+).I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
