When liver slices of Csa and Csb mice were incubated , they had similar catalase activities and equal rates of ethanol metabolism. While incubated liver homogenates and microsomes from Csa mice oxidized ethanol and retained catalase activity, preparations from Csb mice did not oxidize ethanol and lost all catalase activity. Addition of beef liver catalase restored ethanol oxidation by Csb microsomes. The oxidations of aniline and aminopyrine proceeded at the same rate in Csa and Csb microsomes and were inhibited by ethanol. It is evident that (a) the microsomal drug-metabolizing pathway is not involved in ethanol oxidation, and (b) the postulation of a unique microsomal ethanol-oxidizing system (“MEOS”) that is independent of microsomal catalase is unwarranted. 相似文献

Conditions for the recovery of H2O2 from microsomes and for determination of the rate and extent of H2O2 formation during oxidation of NADPH by liver microsomes have been investigated. H2O2 was determined by two methods that are applicable to conditions existing during microsomal mixed function oxidation reactions, provided that contaminating catalase activity is inhibited by azide and that interference by other mixed function oxidation reactions can be excluded. To estimate the formation of H2O2 in absence of azide, H2O2 was determined indirectly by the production of HCHO during oxidation of cold and 14C-labeled methanol and an excess of exogenous catalase. As additional catalase-independent decomposition of H2O2 also occurs during oxidation of NADPH, the kinetics of H2O2 formation in microsomes is influenced by two independent processes. H2O2 will be produced under optimal conditions i.e., at V when O2 and NADPH are in excess. Addition or formation of increasing amounts of H2O2 raises the substrate (H2O2) concentration and will enhance the rate of breakdown of H2O2. 相似文献

Hydroquinone is a benzene-derived metabolite. To clarify whether the reactive oxygen species (ROS) are involved in hydroquinone-induced cytotoxicity, we constructed transformants of Escherichia coli (E. coli) strains that express mammalian catalase gene derived from catalase mutant mice (Csb, Csc) and the wild-type (Csa) using a catalase-deficient E. coli UM255 as a recipient. Specific catalase activities of these tester strains were in order of Csa > Csc > Csb > UM255, and their susceptibility to hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) showed UM255 > Csb > Csc > Csa. We found that hydroquinone exposure reduced the survival of catalase-deficient E. coli mutants in a dose-dependent manner significantly, especially in the strains with lower catalase activities. Hydroquinone toxicity was also confirmed using zone of inhibition test, in which UM255 was the most susceptible, showing the largest zone of growth inhibition, followed by Csb, Csc and Csa. Furthermore, we found that hydroquinone-induced cell damage was inhibited by the pretreatment of catalase, ascorbic acid, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), and augmented by superoxide dismutase (both CuZnSOD and MnSOD). The present results suggest that H2O2 is probably involved in hydroquinone-induced cytotoxicity in catalase-deficient E. coli mutants and catalase plays an important role in protection of the cells against hydroquinone toxicity. 相似文献

Stimulation of the desaturation of 1-alkyl-2-acyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine (GPE), which forms ethanolamine plasmalogens, by a component of the 105,000g supernatant has been previously reported. We have isolated the stimulatory protein and identified it as catalase. Purified rat liver catalase or commercial bovine liver catalase is as effective in stimulating microsomal 1-alkyl-2-acyl-GPE desaturation as the soluble proteins. The stimulatory effect of these proteins is eliminated by catalase inhibitors. It appears that catalase stimulates the desaturation of 1-alkyl-2-acyl-GPE by preventing inactivation of the enzyme system by H2O2 or a decomposition product of H2O2. The cytochrome b5 content and NADH oxidation are depressed in Fischer R-3259 sarcoma microsomes by H2O2; this effect is eliminated by catalase. However, since measurable inhibition of 1-alkyl-2-acyl-GPE desaturase by H2O2 still occurred in the presence of catalase, the inhibition by H2O2 cannot be explained solely on the basis of cytochrome b5 inactivation. The desaturation of stearoyl-coenzyme A, a reaction analogous in many respects to 1-alkyl-2-acyl-GPE desaturation, was also found to be stimulated by catalase. 相似文献

Previous studies provided indirect evidence that hydroxyl radicals are involved in the oxidation of primary aliphatic alcohols by rat liver microsomes. In the current study, three ·OH scavengers were used as chemical probes to evaluate ·OH production by microsomes. The scavengers and their products were 3-thiomethylpropanal (methional) and 2-keto-4-thiomethylbutyric acid, which yield ethylene gas, and dimethylsulfoxide, which yields methane gas. We observed that microsomes actively generate the appropriate hydrocarbon gas from each scavenger when electron transport is initiated with NADPH. Hydrocarbon gas production is augmented by 0.5 mm azide, an agent which inhibits catalase and, thereby, permits H2O2 to accumulate. However, no metabolism of scavengers occurs when H2O2 is added in the absence of microsomes. These results are consistent with a presumed role for H2O2 as a precursor of hydroxyl radicals. In addition, no metabolism of scavengers occurs when azide and H2O2 are added either to boiled microsomes or to intact microsomes in the absence of electron transport (NADPH-generating system omitted). Therefore, both H2O2 and simultaneous electron transport are required. Ethanol inhibits the metabolism of the scavengers. Similarly, the scavengers inhibit the oxidation of ethanol to acetaldehyde; inhibition in the presence of azide is competitive. These latter results indicate a competition between the scavengers and ethanol for metabolically generated ·OH in microsomes. The specificity of this interaction is evident from the observation that the scavengers do not affect the activities of microsomal aminopyrine demethylase or aniline hydroxylase. Two model ·OH-generating systems (Fenton's reagent and iron-EDTA-ascorbate) were also studied and they produced acetaldehyde from ethanol and hydrocarbon gases from the scavengers. These results, as a whole, tend to verify a role for ·OH in the microsomal oxidation of alcohols. 相似文献

The addition of nitrofurantoin to aerobic incubation mixtures containing rat lung microsomes strongly enhanced the generation of adrenochrome from epinephrine. Adrenochrome formation in this system was blocked by superoxide dismutase, but not by catalase. Hydrogen peroxide production was also strongly enhanced by nitrofurantoin in these preparations; superoxide dismutase did not significantly alter the amount of H2O2 measured, but no H2O2 was detected in incubation mixtures in the presence of catalase. Nitrofurantoin enhanced the oxidation of NADPH in lung microsomal suspensions under aerobic conditions; the enhancement was unaffected by catalase but was partially prevented by superoxide dismutase. Neither adrenochrome formation nor H2O2 production were enhanced by nitrofurantoin under anaerobic (N2) conditions, but NADPH oxidation in the presence of nitrofurantoin was greater under anaerobic conditions than under aerobic conditions. These results are consistent with the view that the redox cycling of nitrofurantoin in lung microsomes in the presence of oxygen results in the consumption of NADPH and the production of activated oxygen species, emphasizing some metabolic similarities with the lung-toxic herbicide, paraquat. 相似文献

Various factor affecting NADPH-oxidation by resting human leucocyte granules (LG) at acid pH, have been investigated.It was found that:
- 1) oxidation of NADPH by LG was increasingly inhibited by increased cyanide concentrations in the medium and was abolished by 4 mM cyanide.
- 2) with or without cyanide in the incubation medium, LG omitted, Mn++, in the presence of NADPH induced superoxide anion (O¯2) production, as evidenced by oxygen consumption and H2O2 production, which were abolished (in the absence of cyanide) by cytochrome C (a potent O¯2 scavenger).
- 3) Both NADPH oxidation in the presence of 2 mM cyanide (cyanide-resistant) and in its absence (cyanide-sensitive) by LG occured only in the presence of Mn++, and both were inhibited by superoxide dismutase.
- 4) Cyanide-resistant NADPH oxidation by LG generated H2O2, was inhibited by H2O2 and was not modified by «active catalase. The ratio of cyanide-resistant NADPH oxidation/O2 uptake was 1 up to 1.25 mM NADPH, and increased above this concentration.
- 5) Cyanide-sensitive NADPH oxidation was inhibited by catalase and increased upon addition of H2O2. The ratio of cyanide-sensitive NADPH oxidation/O2 uptake was 2.

The solubilization and subsequent separation of the hepatic microsomal ethanol-oxidizing system from alcohol dehydrogenase and catalase activities by DEAE-cellulose column chromatography is described. Absence of alcohol dehydrogenase in the column eluates exhibiting microsomal ethanol-oxidizing system activity was demonstrated by the failure of NAD+ to promote ethanol oxidation at pH 9.6. Differentiation of the microsomal ethanol-oxidizing system from alcohol dehydrogenase was further shown by the apparent Km for ethanol (7.2 mm, insensitivity of the microsomal ethanol-oxidizing system to the alcohol dehydrogenase inhibitor pyrazole (0.1 mm) and by the failure of added alcohol dehydrogenase to increase the ethanol oxidation. Absence of catalatic activity in these fractions was demonstrated by spectrophotometric and polarographic assay. Differentiation of the microsomal ethanol-oxidizing system from the peroxidatic activity of catalase was shown by the apparent Km for oxygen (8.3 μm), insensitivity of the microsomal ethanol-oxidizing system to the catalase inhibitors azide and cyanide, and by the lack of a H2O2-generating system (glucose-glucose oxidase) to sustain ethanol oxidation in the eluates. The oxidation of ethanol to acetaldehyde by the alcohol dehydrogenase- and catalase-free fractions required NADPH and oxygen and was inhibited by CO. The column eluates showing microsomal ethanol-oxidizing system activity contained cytochrome P-450, NADPH-cytochrome c reductase, and phospholipids and also metabolized aminopyrine, benzphetamine, and aniline. 相似文献

Addition of vanadate, stimulated oxidation of NADH by rat liver microsomes. The products were NAD+ and H2O2. High rates of this reaction were obtained in the presence of phosphate buffer and at low pH values. The yellow-orange colored polymeric form of vanadate appears to be the active species and both ortho- and meta-vanadate gave poor activities even at mM concentrations.The activity as measured by oxygen uptake was inhibited by cyanide, EDTA, mannitol, histidine, ascorbate, noradrenaline, adriamycin, cytochrome c, Mn2+, superoxide dismutase, horseradish peroxidase and catalase. Mitochondrial outer membranes possess a similar activity of vanadate-stimulated NADH oxidation. But addition of mitochondria and some of its derivative particles abolished the microsomal activity. In the absence of oxygen, disappearance of NADH measured by decrease in absorbance at 340 nm continued at nearly the same rate since vanadate served as an electron acceptor in the microsomal system. Addition of excess catalase or SOD abolished the oxygen uptake while retaining significant rates of NADH disappearance indicating that the two activities are delinked. A mechanism is proposed wherein oxygen receives the first electron from NAD radical generated by oxidation of NADH by phosphovanadate and the consequent reduced species of vanadate (Viv) gives the second electron to superoxide to reduce it H2O2. This is applicable to all membranes whereas microsomes have the additional capability of reducing vanadate. 相似文献

Tertiary butyl alcohol has often been used experimentally as a “non-metabolizable” alcohol. In this report, evidence is presented that t-butanol serves as a substrate for rat liver microsomes and that it is oxidatively demethylated to yield formaldehyde. The apparent Km for t-butanol is 30 mM while Vmax is about 5.5 nmol per min per mg microsomal protein. Formaldehyde production is stimulated by azide, which prevents destruction of H2O2 by catalase. Hydroxyl radical scavenging agents, such as benzoate, mannitol, and 2-keto-4-thiomethylbutyrate, suppress formaldehyde production. Therefore, the microsomal reaction pathway appears to involve the interaction of t-butanol with hydroxyl radicals generated from H2O2 by the microsomes. Formaldehyde is also produced when t-butanol is incubated with model hydroxyl radical-generating systems such as the iron-EDTA-stimulated oxidation of xanthine by xanthine oxidase or the iron-EDTA-catalyzed autoxidation of ascorbate. These results indicate that t-butanol cannot be used to distinguish metabolically-linked from non-metabolically-linked actions of ethanol. 相似文献

Metabolic alterations produced in the liver by chronic ethanol administration. Increased oxidative capacity 总被引:8,自引:3,他引:5
1. Administration of ethanol (14g/day per kg) for 21–26 days to rats increases the ability of the animals to metabolize ethanol, without concomitant changes in the activities of liver alcohol dehydrogenase or catalase. 2. Liver slices from rats chronically treated with ethanol showed a significant increase (40–60%) in the rate of O2 consumption over that of slices from control animals. The effect of uncoupling agents such as dinitrophenol and arsenate was completely lost after chronic treatment with ethanol. 3. Isolated mitochondria prepared from animals chronically treated with ethanol showed no changes in state 3 or state 4 respiration, ADP/O ratio, respiratory control ratio or in the dinitrophenol effect when succinate was used as substrate. With β-hydroxybutyrate as substrate a small but statistically significant decrease was found in the ADP/O ratio but not in the other parameters or in the dinitrophenol effect. Further, no changes in mitochondrial Mg2+-activated adenosine triphosphatase, dinitrophenol-activated adenosine triphosphatase or in the dinitrophenol-activated adenosine triphosphatase/Mg2+-activated adenosine triphosphatase ratio were found as a result of the chronic ethanol treatment. 4. Liver microsomal NADPH oxidase activity, a H2O2-producing system, was increased by 80–100% by chronic ethanol treatment. Oxidation of formate to CO2 in vivo was also increased in these animals. The increase in formate metabolism could theoretically be accounted for by an increased production of H2O2 by the NADPH oxidase system plus formate peroxidation by catalase. However, an increased production of H2O2 and oxidation of ethanol by the catalase system could not account for more than 10–20% of the increased ethanol metabolism in the animals chronically treated with ethanol. 5. Results presented indicate that chronic ethanol ingestion results in a faster mitochondrial O2 consumption in situ suggesting a faster NADH reoxidation. Although only a minor change in mitochondrial coupling was observed with isolated mitochondria, the possibility of an uncoupling in the intact cell cannot be completely discarded. Regardless of the mechanism, these changes could lead to an increased metabolism of ethanol and of other endogenous substrates. 相似文献

Previously we showed that the polychlorinated biphenyl 3,3′,4,4′-tetrachlorobiphenyl (TCB) caused a release of reactive oxygen species (ROS) from cytochrome P450 1A (CYP1A) of the fish scup (Stenotomus chrysops), and from rat and human CYP1A1. This was linked to a TCB- and NADPH-dependent oxidative inactivation of the enzyme, which in scup and rat was inversely related to the rates of TCB oxidation. We examined the relationship between rates of TCB oxidation, CYP1A inactivation and ROS production in liver microsomes from additional vertebrate species, including skate (Raja erinacea), eel (Anguilla rostrata), killifish (Fundulus heteroclitus), winter flounder (Pleuronectes americanus), chicken (Gallus domesticus), cormorant (Phalacrocorax auritus), gull (Larus argentatus), and turtle (Chrysemys picta picta). TCB oxidation rates were induced in all fish and birds treated with aryl hydrocarbon receptor agonists. Induced rates of TCB oxidation were <1 pmol/min/mg microsomal protein in all fish, and 6–14 pmol/min/mg in the birds. In all species but one, TCB oxidation rates correlated positively with EROD rates, indicating likely involvement of CYP1A in TCB oxidation. Incubation of liver microsomes of most species with TCB+NADPH resulted in an immediate (TCB-dependent) inhibition of EROD, and a progressive loss of EROD capacity, indicating an oxidative inactivation of CYP1A like that in scup. NADPH stimulated production of ROS (H2O2 and/or O2−) by liver microsomes, slightly in some species (eel) and greatly in others (chicken, turtle). Among the birds and the fish, NADPH-stimulated ROS production correlated positively with EROD activity. TCB caused a significant stimulation of ROS production by liver microsomes of flounder, killifish, cormorant and gull, as well as scup. The stimulation of CYP1A inactivation and ROS generation indicates an uncoupling of CYP1A by TCB in many species, and when compared between species, the rates of CYP1A inactivation correlated inversely with rates of TCB oxidation. Some feature(s) of binding/active site topology may hinder TCB oxidation, enhancing the likelihood for attack of an oxidizing species in the active site. 相似文献

An important function of the liver is detoxification of drugs, toxins and foreign compounds. Within the liver cell, the endoplasmic reticulum, isolated as the microsomal fraction, is especially active. Microsomal oxidation is the major oxidation pathway for many compounds, and the requirement for NADPH, an expensive cofactor, is an important consideration in bioreactor design. This paper presents design information for NADPH- and substrate-dependent oxidation rates for free and immobilized microsomes. The primary goal of this paper is determining NADPH requirements for oxidation. The effect of various initial levels of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) on chlorpromazine oxidation rate has been studied for a crude hepatic microsomal fraction immobilized in calcium alginate gel. At an initial NADPH concentration of 600 nmoles/ml, immobilized microsomes accelerate to a maximal velocity of ≈ 240 nmoles min−1 ml−1 of oxygen consumption. In comparison, free microsomes reach a maximal velocity of approximately 150 nmoles min−1 ml−1 at an initial NADPH concentration of 220 nmoles/ml. By fitting the “initial” rate as a function of NADPH concentration to Michaelis-Menten kinetics, the apparent half-saturation coefficients (Km)app are 3.5 nmole/ml for free microsomes and 134.4 nmole/ml for immobilized microsomes, however the maximum reaction velocity, Vmax, for immobilized microsomes is calculated to be 322 nmoles min−1 ml−1 compared with 145 nmols min−1 ml−1 for free microsomes. Preliminary studies indicate that is is possible to obtain significant reaction rates using calcium alginate immobilized microsomes and that this system may offer advantages due to its simplicity and lower cost. 相似文献

Kallistatin, a plasma protein, protects against vascular and organ injury. This study is aimed to investigate the role and mechanism of kallistatin in endothelial senescence. Kallistatin inhibited H2O2‐induced senescence in human endothelial cells, as indicated by reduced senescence‐associated‐β‐galactosidase activity, p16INK4a and plasminogen activator inhibitor‐1 expression, and elevated telomerase activity. Kallistatin blocked H2O2‐induced superoxide formation, NADPH oxidase levels and VCAM‐1, ICAM‐1, IL‐6 and miR‐34a synthesis. Kallistatin reversed H2O2‐mediated inhibition of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), SIRT1, catalase and superoxide dismutase (SOD)‐2 expression, and kallistatin alone stimulated the synthesis of these antioxidant enzymes. Moreover, kallistatin's anti‐senescence and anti‐oxidant effects were attributed to SIRT1‐mediated eNOS pathway. Kallistatin, via interaction with tyrosine kinase, up‐regulated Let‐7g, whereas Let‐7g inhibitor abolished kallistatin's effects on miR‐34a and SIRT1/eNOS synthesis, leading to inhibition of senescence, oxidative stress and inflammation. Furthermore, lung endothelial cells isolated from endothelium‐specific kallistatin knockout mice displayed marked reduction in mouse kallistatin levels. Kallistatin deficiency in mouse endothelial cells exacerbated senescence, oxidative stress and inflammation compared to wild‐type mouse endothelial cells, and H2O2 treatment further magnified these effects. Kallistatin deficiency caused marked reduction in Let‐7g, SIRT1, eNOS, catalase and SOD‐1 mRNA levels, and elevated miR‐34a synthesis in mouse endothelial cells. These findings indicate that endogenous kallistatin through novel mechanisms protects against endothelial senescence by modulating Let‐7g‐mediated miR‐34a‐SIRT1‐eNOS pathway. 相似文献

Superoxide dismutase, a scavenger of O?2. does not affect the rate of ethanol oxidation in a reconstituted system containing purified cytochrome P-450, NADPH-cytochrome c reductase, and dilauroyl l-3-phosphatidyl choline. The same concentration of Superoxide dismutase (50 μg/ml) completely abolishes the oxidation of epinephrine in this reconstituted system and ethanol oxidation by the xanthine-xanthine oxidase. Ethanol is not oxidized by the reconstituted system when NADPH is replaced by H2O2 but the addition of H2O2 to this sytem containing NADPH accelerates ethanol oxidation. This increase is abolished by the addition of Superoxide dismutase. Hydroxyl radical scavengers (50 mm dimethylsulfoxide, 100 mm benzoate, 100 mm mannitol, 20 mm thiourea) diminish the oxidation of ethanol in the reconstituted system by 48 to 76%. Thus hydroxyl radical may participate in the activity of reconstituted ethanol-oxidizing system, whereas Superoxide is not involved. 相似文献

The stoichiometry of hydroxylation reactions catalyzed by cytochrome P-450 was studied in a reconstituted enzyme system containing the highly purified cytochrome from phenobarbital-induced rabbit liver microsomes. Hydrogen peroxide was shown to be formed in the reconstituted system in the presence of NADPH and oxygen; the amount of peroxide produced varied with the substrated added. NADPH oxidation, oxygen consumption, and total product formation (sum of hydroxylated compound and hydrogen peroxide) were shown to be equimolar when cyclohexane, benzphetamine, or dimethylaniline served as the substrate. The stoichiometry observed represents the sum of two activities associated with cytochrome P-450. These are (1) hydroxylase activity: NADPH + H+ + O2 + RH → NADP+ + H2O + ROH; and (2) oxidase activity: NADPH + H+ + O2 → NADP+ + H2O2. Benzylamphetamine (desmethylbenzphetamine) acts as a pseudosubstrate in that it stimulates peroxide formation to the same extent as the parent compound (benzphetamine), but does not undergo hydroxylation. Accordingly, when benzylamphetamine alone is added in control experiments to correct for the NADPH and O2 consumption not associated with benzphetamine hydroxylation, the expected 1:1:1 stoichiometry for NADPH oxidation, O2 consumption, and formaldehyde formation in the hydroxylation reaction is observed. 相似文献

An enzymatic Na3VO4-dependent system for the oxidation of reduced pyridine nucleotides in purified rat liver microsomes was characterized. The system has a pH optimum of 6.5, and appears to be specific for vanadate, since activity in the presence of a related transition metal, molybdate, was not detected. Vanadate-dependent oxidation occurred with a concomitant consumption of O2 and, contrary to previous reports, preferred NADPH over NADH. At pH 6.5, the NADPH/NADH oxidase activity ratio was greater than 2:1. Sodium vanadate-dependent oxidation of NADH was inhibited by rotenone, antimycin A, NaN3, and NaCN. Conversely, Na3VO4-dependent NADPH oxidation was slightly affected by rotenone, but was insensitive to antimycin A, NaN3, NaCN, or quinacrine. Vanadate-dependent oxidation of either pyridine nucleotide was inhibited by the addition of either Superoxide dismutase or catalase, indicating that both superoxide and hydrogen peroxide may be intermediates in the process. Linear sucrose gradient purification of the microsomes showed that the vanadate-dependent system for NADPH oxidation resides primarily in the endoplasmic reticulum. These studies indicate the existence of separate and distinct enzymatic systems for vanadate-stimulated oxidation of NADPH and NADH in mammalian microsomal membranes, and argue against an exclusive role of endogenous Superoxide in the process. 相似文献

After a general introduction, the main pathways of ethanol metabolism (alcohol dehydrogenase, catalase, coupling of catalase with NADPH oxidase and microsomal ethanol-oxidizing system) are shortly reviewed. The cytochrome P450 isoform (CYP2E1) specifically involved in ethanol oxidation is discussed. The acetaldehyde metabolism and the shift of the NAD/NADH ratio in the cellular environment (reductive stress) are stressed. The toxic effects of acetaldehyde are mentioned. The ethanol-induced oxidative stress: the increased MDA formation by incubated liver preparations, the absorption of conjugated dienes in mitochondrial and microsomal lipids and the decrease in the most unsaturated fatty acids in liver cell membranes are discussed. The formation of carbon-centered (1-hydroxyethyl) and oxygen-centered (hydroxyl) radicals during the metabolism of ethanol is considered: the generation of hydroxyethyl radicals, which occurs likely during the process of univalent reduction of dioxygen, is highlighted and is carried out by ferric cytochrome P450 oxy-complex (P450–Fe3+O2·−) formed during the reduction of heme-oxygen. The ethanol-induced lipid peroxidation has been evaluated, and it has been shown that plasma F2-isoprostanes are increased in ethanol toxicity. 相似文献

The system, which contains NADPH, purified cytochrome P-450 reductase, and adriamycin, produces H2O2 and in appreciable amounts with oxygen consumption and NADPH oxidation under aerobic conditions. Such an adriamycin-induced NADPH oxidation system, however, does not cause the decomposition of unsaturated fatty acids in microsomal phospholipid micelles, suggesting no direct participation of the active oxygen species and semiquinone radicals of adriamycin in lipid peroxidation. Adriamycin produces a co-ordination complex with Fe3+ and ADP, which, but no Fe3+-ADP complex, could be reduced by NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase at the expence of NADPH. The decomposition of unsaturated fatty acids in phospholipid micelles is achieved by the Fe3+-ADP-adriamycin complex and strikingly enhanced by enzymatically reduced iron-ADP-adriamycin complex. 相似文献
