Composite Remineralization of Bone-Collagen Matrices by Low-Temperature Ceramics and Serum Albumin: A New Approach to the Creation of Highly Effective Osteoplastic Materials. J Funct Biomater 2024; 15:27. [PMID: 38391880 PMCID: PMC10889756 DOI: 10.3390/jfb15020027] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/12/2023] [Revised: 01/16/2024] [Accepted: 01/18/2024] [Indexed: 02/24/2024] Open
Abstract
This study examined the effectiveness of coating demineralized bone matrix (DBM) with amorphous calcium phosphate (DBM + CaP), as well as a composite of DBM, calcium phosphate, and serum albumin (DBM + CaP + BSA). The intact structure of DBM promotes the transformation of amorphous calcium phosphate (CaP) into dicalcium phosphate dihydrate (DCPD) with a characteristic plate shape and particle size of 5-35 µm. The inclusion of BSA in the coating resulted in a better and more uniform distribution of CaP on the surface of DBM trabeculae. MG63 cells showed that both the obtained forms of CaP and its complex with BSA did not exhibit cytotoxicity up to a concentration of 10 mg/mL in vitro. Ectopic (subcutaneous) implantation in rats revealed pronounced biocompatibility, as well as strong osteoconductive, osteoinductive, and osteogenic effects for both DBM + CaP and DBM + CaP + BSA, but more pronounced effects for DBM + CaP + BSA. In addition, for the DBM + CaP + BSA samples, there was a pronounced full physiological intrafibrillar biomineralization and proangiogenic effect with the formation of bone-morrow-like niches, accompanied by pronounced processes of intramedullary hematopoiesis, indicating a powerful osteogenic effect of this composite.

Abstract
Traumatic axonal damage disrupts connections between neurons, leading to the loss of motor and sensory functions. Although damaged peripheral nerves can regenerate, recovery depends on the variety and severity of nerve damage. Thus, many phytochemicals have been studied for their ability to reduce peripheral nerve degeneration, and among them, Parthenolide (PTL), which is extracted from Feverfew has effects against production of free radicals, inflammation, and apoptosis. Thus, we conducted a study to investigate whether PTL has an inhibitory effect on peripheral nerve degeneration during peripheral nerve damage. To verify the effect of PTL on peripheral nerve degeneration process, a morphological comparison of peripheral nerves with and without PTL was performed. PTL significantly reduced the quantity of fragmented ovoid formations at 3DIV (days in vitro). Immunostaining for MBP revealed that the ratio of intact myelin sheaths increased significantly in sciatic nerve with PTL compared with absence of PTL at 3DIV. Furthermore, nerve fibers in the presence of PTL maintained the continuity of Neurofilament (NF) compared to those without at 3DIV. Immunostaining for LAMP1 and p75 NTR showed that the expression of LAMP1 and p75 NTR decreased in the nerve after PTL addition at 3DIV. Lastly, immunostaining for anti-Ki67 revealed that PTL inhibited Ki67 expression at 3DIV compared to without PTL. These results confirm that PTL inhibits peripheral nerve degenerative processes. PTL may be a good applicant to inhibit peripheral nerve degeneration. Our study examined the effect of Parthenolide in preventing degeneration of peripheral nerves by inhibiting the breakdown of peripheral axons and myelin, also inhibiting Schwann cell trans-dedifferentiation and proliferation.

Abstract
Body's homeostasis is dependent on many factors, such as maintaining balance between free radicals formation and degradation. Human serum albumin (HSA) also plays an important role in homeostasis. The aim of this study was thermodynamic analysis of the interaction between ketoprofen (KET), naproxen (NPX), diclofenac (DIC) and HSA, as well as the effect of drug-albumin binding on HSA antioxidant activity using calorimetric and spectrophotometric techniques. Based on the calorimetric analysis it has been shown that accompanied by hydrophobic interaction drugs-albumin binding is an exoenergetic reaction. All analyzed drugs and HSA showed the ability to react with free radicals such as a radical cation, formed as a result of the reaction between 2,2'-Azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) diammonium salt (ABTS) and potassium persulfate (K2S2O8). Using ABTS assay a synergistic effect of ketoprofen (KET) and naproxen (NPX) on HSA antioxidant activity was observed while the effect of diclofenac (DIC) binding with albumin was probably additive. Because some medications including KET, NPX and DIC belong to over the counter (OTC) non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), it is necessary to understand their influence on HSA antioxidant activity.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

Abstract
Human serum albumin exerts multifunctions, such as maintaining the oncotic pressure of plasma, carrying hydrophobic molecules, and acting as the most important antioxidant in the blood. Lower serum albumin levels are linked to several cardiovascular diseases, and dysfunction of albumin reabsorption in the kidney is linked to liver disease, renal disorder, and diabetes. Albumin is thus a powerful diagnostic and prognostic marker; however, its quantification in urine by readily affordable tools is challenging owing to its very low concentration. To address this issue, we developed a ratiometric fluorescent probe with multiple advantages through a systematic structure variation of a benzocoumarin fluorophore and, further, a prototype of a smartphone-based point-of-care device. We determined albumin levels in urine and observed that a smoking person has notably higher urine albumin than a nonsmoking person. The cheap device provides a promising tool for albumin-associated disease diagnosis in communities with limited resources.

Spectroscopic Analysis of an Antimalarial Drug’s (Quinine) Influence on Human Serum Albumin Reduction and Antioxidant Potential. Molecules 2022; 27:molecules27186027.

Abstract
Quinine (Qi) is a well-known drug used in malaria therapy; it is also a potential anti-arrhythmic drug used in the treatment of calf cramps, rheumatoid arthritis, colds, and photodermatitis. Moreover, it is used in the food industry for the production of tonics. This study aimed to analyze the interaction between quinine and a transporting protein—human serum albumin (HSA)—as well as the influence of Qi on both protein reduction and antioxidant potential. It was found that Qi (via spectrofluorometric measurements and circular dichroism spectroscopy) binds to HSA with a low affinity and slightly affects the secondary structure of albumin. As demonstrated by the use of ABTS and FRAP assays, HSA has a higher antioxidant and reduction potential than Qi, while their mutual interaction results in a synergistic effect in antioxidant activity and reduction potential.

Abstract
As a carrier of many biologically active compounds, blood is exposed to oxidants to a greater extent than the intracellular environment. Serum albumin plays a key role in antioxidant defence under both normal and oxidative stress conditions. This review evaluates data published in the literature and from our own research on the mechanisms of the enzymatic and non-enzymatic activities of albumin that determine its participation in redox modulation of plasma and intercellular fluid. For the first time, the results of numerous clinical, biochemical, spectroscopic and computational experiments devoted to the study of allosteric modulation of the functional properties of the protein associated with its participation in antioxidant defence are analysed. It has been concluded that it is fundamentally possible to regulate the antioxidant properties of albumin with various ligands, and the binding and/or enzymatic features of the protein by changing its redox status. The perspectives for using the antioxidant properties of albumin in practice are discussed.

Abstract
The albumin molecule, in contrast to many other plasma proteins, is not covered with a carbohydrate moiety and can bind and transport various molecules of endogenous and exogenous origin. The enzymatic activity of albumin, the existence of which many scientists perceive skeptically, is much less studied. In toxicology, understanding the mechanistic interactions of organophosphates with albumin is a special problem, and its solution could help in the development of new types of antidotes. In the present work, the history of the issue is briefly examined, then our in silico data on the interaction of human serum albumin with soman, as well as comparative in silico data of human and bovine serum albumin activities in relation to paraoxon, are presented. Information is given on the substrate specificity of albumin and we consider the possibility of its affiliation to certain classes in the nomenclature of enzymes.

Abstract
Albumin molecule, unlike molecules of many other plasma proteins, is not covered with carbohydrate shell. It plays a crucial role in maintaining of colloid osmotic pressure of the blood, and is able to bind and transport various endogenous and exogenous molecules. The enzymatic activity of albumin, the existence and the role of which most researchers are still skeptical to accept, is of the main interest to us. In this review, a history of the issue is traced, with particular attention to the esterase activity of albumin. The kinetic and thermodynamic characteristics of the interaction of albumin with some substrates are adduced, and possibility of albumin being attributed to certain groups of Enzyme Nomenclature is considered.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Proteins are extremely reactive to oxidants and should represent a potential target of instable reactive oxygen. This may represent a problem for plasma proteins since they may be directly modified in vivo in a compartment where antioxidant enzymatic systems are scarcely represented. On the other hand, it is possible that some plasma components have evolved over time to guarantee protection, in which case they can be considered as anti-oxidants. SCOPE OF REVIEW To present and discuss main studies which addressed the role of albumin in plasma antioxidant activity mainly utilizing in vitro models of oxidation. To present some advances on structural features of oxidized albumin deriving from studies carried out on in vitro models as well as albumin purified in vivo from patients affected by clinical conditions characterized by oxidative stress. MAJOR CONCLUSIONS There are different interaction with HOCl and chloramines. In the former case, HOCl produces an extensive alteration of (238)Trp and (162)Tyr, (425)Tyr, (47)Tyr, while thiol groups are only partially involved. Chloramines are extremely reactive with the unique free SH group of albumin ((34)Cys) with the formation of sulfenic and sulfinic acid as intermediates and sulfonic acid as end-product. Oxidized albumin has a modified electrical charge for the addition of an acidic residue and presents α-helix and random coil reorganization with subtle changes in domain orientation. GENERAL SIGNIFICANCE Albumin, is the major antioxidants in plasma with a concentration (0.8mM) higher than other antioxidants by an exponential factor. Functional and protective roles in the presence of oxidative stress must be defined. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled Serum Albumin.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Human serum albumin and some of its ligand complexes possess enzymatic properties which are useful both in vivo and in vitro. SCOPE OF REVIEW This review summarizes present knowledge about molecular aspects, practical applications and potentials of these properties. MAJOR CONCLUSIONS The most pronounced activities of the protein are different types of hydrolysis. Key examples are esterase-like activities involving Tyr411 or Lys199 and the thioesterase activity of Cys34. In the first case, hydrolysis involves water and both products are released, whereas in the latter cases one of the products is set free, and the other stays covalently bound to the protein. However, the modified Cys34 can be converted back to its reduced form by another compound/enzymatic system. Among the other activities are glucuronidase, phosphatase and amidase as well as isomerase and dehydration properties. The protein has great impact on the metabolism of, for example, eicosanoids and xenobiotics. Albumin with a metal ion-containing complex is capable of facilitating reactions involving reactive oxygen and nitrogen species. GENERAL SIGNIFICANCE Albumin is useful in detoxification reactions, for activating prodrugs, and for binding and activating drug conjugates. The protein can be used to construct smart nanotubes with enzymatic properties useful for biomedical applications. Binding of organic compounds with a metal ion often results in metalloenzymes or can be used for nanoparticle formation. Because any compound acting as cofactor and/or the protein can be modified, enzymes can be constructed which are not naturally found and therefore can increase, often stereospecifically, the number of catalytic reactions. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled Serum Albumin.

Abstract
(-)-Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCg) is the major component of green tea and is known to show strong biological activity, although it can be easily oxidized under physiological conditions. In this study, we indicate that EGCg is stable in human serum and that human serum albumin (HSA) stabilizes EGCg under aerobic condition. Although EGCg is usually decomposed within 1 h in aqueous solution at neutral pH, EGCg in serum and phosphate buffer (pH 7.4) containing HSA was stable over 1 h, even at neutral and slightly alkaline pH. Under these conditions, EGCg binds to HSA non-covalently. The sulfhydryl group acts as an antioxidant for EGCg oxidation. Incubation of EGCg with HSA is accompanied by the oxidation of a free sulfhydryl group in HSA. These results suggest that the antioxidant property and the binding capacity of HSA contribute to the stabilization of EGCg in human serum.

Abstract
Free radicals are a normal component of cellular oxygen metabolism in mammals. However, free radical-associated damage is an important factor in many pathological processes. Glycation and oxidative damage cause protein modifications, frequently observed in numerous diseases. Albumin represents a very abundant and important circulating antioxidant. This review brings together recent insights on albumin antioxidant properties. First, it focuses on the different activities of albumin concerning protein antioxidation. In particular, we describe the role of albumin in ligand binding and free radical-trapping activities. In addition, physiological and pathological situations that modify the antioxidant properties of albumin are reported.

Serum albumin is a major antioxidant agent, and structural modification of albumin induced by glucose or free radicals impairs its antioxidant properties. Therefore the aim of the present study was to compare the antioxidant capacities and structural changes in albumin in patients with T2DM (Type 2 diabetes mellitus) treated with MET (metformin) or SU (sulfonylureas) and in healthy control subjects. Structural changes in albumin were studied by fluorescence quenching in the presence of acrylamide. Albumin thiols and fructosamines, reflecting oxidized and glycation-induced changes in serum albumin respectively, were assessed. Structural changes in albumin were demonstrated by a significant decrease in fluorescence quenching in patients with T2DM, with patients treated with MET exhibiting a significant difference in the conformation of albumin compared with patients treated with SU. Oxidation, resulting in a significant decrease in thiol groups and plasma total antioxidant capacity, and glycation, associated with a significant increase in fructosamines, were both found when comparing healthy control subjects with patients with T2DM. When patients treated with MET were compared with those treated with SU, oxidative stress and glycation were found to be significantly lower in MET-treated patients. In conclusion, patients with T2DM have a decrease in the antioxidant properties of serum albumin which may aggravate oxidative stress and, thus, contribute to vascular and metabolic morbidities. Moreover, a significant protection of albumin was found in patients with T2DM treated with MET.

Abstract
The last decade has witnessed an increased interest in cysteine modifications such as sulfenic and sulfinic acids, thiyl radicals, sulfenyl-amides and thiosulfinates, which come together to enable redox sensing, activation, catalysis, switching and cellular signalling. While glutathionylation, sulfenyl-amide formation and disulfide activation are examples of relatively simple redox responses, the sulfinic acid switch in peroxiredoxin enzymes is part of a complex signalling system that involves sulfenic and sulfinic acids and interacts with kinases and sulfiredoxin. Although the in vivo evaluation of sulfur species is still complicated by a lack of appropriate analytical techniques, research into biological sulfur species has gained considerable momentum and promises further excitement in the future.

Abstract
Anti-oxidants are paradoxically much lower in plasma than inside cells even blood is comparably exposed to the oxidative stress. 'In vitro' models suggest a critical role of albumin as substitutive anti-oxidant in plasma but no proof for this role is available 'in vivo.' Herein, we demonstrate by LC/MS/MS that plasma albumin undergoes massive oxidation in primary nephrotic syndrome, involving stable sulphonation SO3- of the free SH of Cys 34 with +48Da increase in exact mass of the protein (ESI-MS) and formation of a fast moving isoform in the pH range between 5 and 7. Physical-chemical experiments with DSC and fluorescence spectra indicate a thermal stabilization of the structure upon oxidation. This is the first demonstration of massive oxidation of albumin 'in vivo' that reflects a functional role of the protein. Free radicals should be implicated in the pathogenesis of proteinuria in human FSGS.

Abstract
HSA functions as a physiological transporter of solutes and small molecules that induce structural transitions 'in vitro'. Analysis of these transitions requires prior purification of HSA that could introduce bias due to conformational changes. We utilized electrophoretic titration curves to describe a neutral to acid (N-A) transition of HSA directly in sera of seven patients with active focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS). The divergent electrophoretic profile of HSA was characterized by a shift in the range of pHs between 4.5 and 7.5 with an average variation of free electrophoretic mobility corresponding to loss of 1 positive charge in the pKa protonation range of histidyl residues and should involve domain I of HSA. 'In-gel' determination by maleimide-PEO2-biotin of free SH 34 of domain I showed inaccessibility of the dye at this site in pathological HSA and alkylation with the same complex induced N-A transition in normal HSA. Potential binders of free imidazoles such as Ca++ and/or of SH 34 such as NO were excluded on the basis of direct titration and studies on binding stimulation. This is the first report describing a transition of HSA directly 'in vivo', and the utilization of electrophoretic titration curves was critical to this purpose. This transition appears to be specific to FSGS and is unrelated to the nephrotic syndrome, Ca++ and NO binding. Spectroscopic analysis will elucidate the structural implication.

Abstract
Human serum albumin (HSA) is an abundant protein found in blood plasma and extracellular fluids. Previously, we found that HSA has a distinct thioredoxin (Trx)-dependent lipid peroxidase activity in the presence of palmitoyl-CoA. In this paper, we identified the redox-active disulfide, which can be specifically reduced by Trx, responsible for the Trx-dependent lipid peroxidase activity. The IIB-III fragment of HSA (Pro299-Leu585) sustained the Trx-dependent lipid peroxidase activity. Chemical modification of the Trx-reduced IIB-III with a thiol-specific modification agent resulted in a complete loss of the peroxidase activity. The analysis of tryptic-peptides derived from the inactivated HSA and IIB-III revealed that Cys392 and Cys438, which exist as an intramolecular disulfide bond in HSA, were preferentially modified in both HSA and IIB-III. Taken together, these results suggested that HSA has a capability to reduce lipid hydroperoxide with the use of Trx as an in vivo electron donor, and that the redox-active disulfide between Cys392 and Cys438 acts as a primary site of the catalysis for the Trx-linked lipid peroxidase activity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Oxidative stress seems to play a major role in diabetic vascular complication development. Plasma albumin, via its thiol groups, is the main extracellular antioxidant molecule. Methylglyoxal (MG) is a very reactive dicarbonyl compound increased in diabetes which strongly modifies proteins by non-enzymatic glycosylation. The aim of this work was to study if MG could modify albumin antioxidant capacity. METHODS Bovine serum albumin was incubated with 1 mM MG at 37 degrees C for 7 days (MG-BSA). Albumin physico-chemical changes were evaluated by tryptophan autofluorescence measurement in the presence or in the absence of a quencher (acrylamide). Albumin antioxidant capacity was determined by thiol measurement using Ellman's reagent as well as in a cellular system (HeLa cells stressed by H2O2). RESULTS MG-BSA exhibited important modifications as shown by conformational changes, decreased tryptophan autofluorescence (30%) and significant thiol loss (40%). MG-BSA led to important modifications resulting in oxidation and loss of albumin antioxidant capacity. MG-BSA modifications were close to the one observed in albumin isolated from diabetic patients. CONCLUSION Our results suggest that deleterious effects induced by carbonyl stress in diabetes could also originate from a loss of albumin antioxidant capacity by dicarbonyl compound attack. The biological consequences of these findings have now to be investigated.

Abstract
Cys34 in domain I of the three-domain serum protein albumin is the binding site for a wide variety of biologically and clinically important small molecules, provides antioxidant activity, and constitutes the largest portion of free thiol in blood. Analysis of X-ray structures of albumin reveals that the loop containing Tyr84 occurs in multiple conformations. In structures where the loop is well defined, there appears to be an H-bond between the OH of Tyr84 and the sulfur of Cys34. We show that the reaction of 5,5'-dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoic acid) (DTNB) with Tyr84Phe mutant albumin is approximately four times faster than with the wild-type protein between pH 6 and pH 8. In contrast, the His39Leu mutant reacts with DTNB more slowly than the wild-type protein at pH < 8, but at a similar rate at pH 8. Above pH 8 there is a dramatic increase in reactivity for the Tyr84Phe mutant. We also report (1)H NMR studies of disulfide interchange reactions with cysteine. The tethering of the two loops containing Tyr84 and Cys34 not only appears to control the redox potential and accessibility of Cys34, but also triggers the transmission of information about the state of Cys34 throughout domain I, and to the domainI/II interface.

Abstract
Utilizing a novel combinational technique incorporating spectrafluorometry and photosensitization, this analysis determined cell viability and cytotoxicity through the introduction of reactive oxygen species and measurement of plasma membrane integrity. Chinese hamster ovary and mouse hybridoma cells were treated with silica hydride after being photosensitized with singlet oxygen, hydroxyl/superoxide, and hydroxyl reactive oxygen species through the use of rose Bengal diacetate, malachite green, and N,N'-bis(2-hydroperoxy-2-methoxyethyl)-1,4,5,8-naphthaldiimide, respectively. The analysis resulted in an easy and effective method for quantifying reactive oxygen species reduction and characterized the radical reduction efficacy of silica hydride at 97% (+/- 0.68%, sigma = 0.84) against singlet oxygen species and over 87% (+/- 0.56%, sigma = 0.70) for the combination of hydroxyl and superoxide reactive species, and 98% (+/- 0.37%, sigma = 0.47) effective for hydroxyl radical species. Nontreated photosensitized controls showed less than 1% viability under the same conditions.

Abstract
Bismuth complexes have been widely used in clinical treatment as antiulcer drugs. However, different adverse effects have been observed and the diagnosis is generally confirmed by the detection of bismuth in blood or blood plasma. In this study, binding of bismuth to human serum albumin was studied by fluorescence spectroscopy with the binding constant logK(a) to be 11.2. Competitive binding of bismuth to human albumin and transferrin was carried out at pH 7.4 by FPLC and ICP-MS. It was found that over 70% of bismuth binds to transferrin even in the presence of a large excess of albumin (albumin/transferrin=13:1) at pH 7.4, 10 mM bicarbonate. The distribution of bismuth between the two proteins was almost unchanged when Cys(34) of albumin was blocked. However, all bismuth binds to albumin when iron-saturated transferrin was used. Almost all of the bismuth was distributed over the fractions containing transferrin (70%) and albumin (<30%) in serum. The percentage of bismuth associated with transferrin was further increased by 15% with elevated transferrin in serum. Binding of bismuth to transferrin is much stronger than human albumin. Transferrin is probably the major target of bismuth in blood plasma, and it may play a role in the pharmacology of bismuth.

Abstract
Treatment of Chinese hamster ovary and mouse hybridoma cells with Mega-H brand silica hydride, a marketed antioxidant, after photosensitization with singlet oxygen and hydroxyl/superoxide reactive oxygen species through the use of rose bengal diacetate and malachite green resulted in an effective method of reducing free radical activity by more than 96% against singlet oxygen species and more than 86% for hydroxyl and superoxide free radicals with the dosage recommended by the manufacturer. The analysis used a combinational spectrafluorometric technique to determine cell viability and cytotoxicity through the mechanism of intracellular esterase activity and plasma membrane integrity. Photosensitized controls not treated with silica hydride showed less than 1% viability under the same conditions. The reduction of the introduced free radicals and singlet oxygen species and the consequent high levels of cell viability may be the result of effective and efficient antioxidant and radical scavenging properties of silica hydride.

Abstract
Albumin undergoes changes in conformation and isomerizations by disulfide interchange of unknown biological significance. The aim of this study was to prepare and characterize albumin isoforms, which were stable under near physiological conditions. Modified albumins were obtained by urea denaturation and renaturation, and by aging at low ionic strength and alkaline pH in the presence of cysteine. We describe a cathodic electrophoresis technique, which allows the separation of albumin isoforms with greater positive charge. Differences between native and modified albumins were analyzed by new criteria based on the reactivity of the thiol and histidyl residues and on the susceptibility of the disulfide bonds to sulfitolysis. Modified albumins had, (i). a more cationic component which disappears by sulfitolysis of the disulfide bonds or by incubation with a glutathione redox system; (ii). higher reactivities of the free thiol group and of the histidyl residues, and; (iii). decreased fluorescence. These differences were not observed when processes were carried out on albumin with the thiol group blocked by iodacetic acid, but reappeared with the addition of cysteine. Renatured and aged albumins differed in the nature of the cationic component. Generation of albumin isoforms is dependent on the presence of a free thiol group and seems to involve thiol disulfide interchanges.

Abstract
Human Serum Albumin (HSA) exerted a significant lipid peroxidase activity with the use of a thiol-reducing equivalent such as dithiothreitol (DTT). Carboxyl group-modified HSA (CM-HSA) showed a 10-fold stronger lipid peroxidase activity (1.6 nmol/min/mg) than that of HSA (0.17 nmol/min/mg). Instead of DTT, thioredoxin (Trx) also supported reducing equivalent to the reduction of lipid hydroperoxide by CM-HSA. Contrast to CM-HSA, HSA did not reduce lipid peroxide with the use of Trx. In the presence of palmitoyl coenzyme A (palmitoyl-CoA) however, HSA used Trx as an electron donor to the reduction of lipid hydroperoxide. The Trx-linked peroxidase activity of HSA sharply increased with elongation in the carbon chain of the acyl moiety of acyl-CoA, showing an optimum activity in the presence of palmitoyl-CoA. Fluorescence study indicates the conformational changes of HSA induced by palmitoyl-CoA. Together, these data suggest that palmitoyl-CoA-bound HSA has a capability to remove lipid peroxide with the use of electrons given by Trx system.
