Free Radic Biol Med 2023; 201:66-75. [PMID: 36924852 DOI: 10.1016/j.freeradbiomed.2023.03.011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/13/2022] [Revised: 02/14/2023] [Accepted: 03/10/2023] [Indexed: 03/18/2023]
Abstract
Hydrogen peroxide is the main metabolite effective in redox regulation and it is considered an insulinomimetic agent, with insulin signalling being essential for normal mitochondrial function in cardiomyocytes. Therefore, the aim of this work was to deeply analyse the heart mitochondrial H2O2 metabolism, in the early stage of type 1 diabetes. Diabetes was induced by Streptozotocin (STZ, single dose, 60 mg × kg-1, ip.) in male Wistar rats and the animals were sacrificed 10 days after injection. Mitochondrial membrane potential and ATP production, using malate-glutamate as substrates, in the heart of diabetic animals were like the ones observed in control group. Mn-SOD activity was lower (15%) in the heart of diabetic rats even though its expression was increased (29%). The increment in heart mitochondrial H2O2 production (117%) in diabetic animals was accompanied by an enhancement in the activities and expressions of glutathione peroxidase (26% and 42%) and of catalase (200% and 133%), with no changes in the peroxiredoxin activity, leading to [H2O2]ss ∼40 nM. Heart mitochondrial lipid peroxidation and protein nitration were higher in STZ-injected animals (45% and 42%) than in control group. The mitochondrial membrane potential and ATP production preservation suggest the absence of irreversible damage at this early stage of diabetes 1. The increase in mitochondrial [H2O2]ss above the physiological range, but still below supraphysiological concentration (∼100 nM) seems to be part of the adaptive response triggered in cardiomyocytes due to the absence of insulin. The signs of mitochondrial dysfunction observed in this very early stage of diabetes are consistent with the mitochondrial entity called ″complex I syndrome″.

Abstract
My interest in biological chemistry proceeded from enzymology in vitro to the study of physiological chemistry in vivo Investigating biological redox reactions, I identified hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) as a normal constituent of aerobic life in eukaryotic cells. This finding led to developments that recognized the essential role of H2O2 in metabolic redox control. Further research included studies on GSH, toxicological aspects (the concept of "redox cycling"), biochemical pharmacology (ebselen), nutritional biochemistry and micronutrients (selenium, carotenoids, flavonoids), and the concept of "oxidative stress." Today, we recognize that oxidative stress is two-sided. It has its positive side in physiology and health in redox signaling, "oxidative eustress," whereas at higher intensity, there is damage to biomolecules with potentially deleterious outcome in pathophysiology and disease, "oxidative distress." Reflecting on these developments, it is gratifying to witness the enormous progress in redox biology brought about by the science community in recent years.

Abstract
Ascorbate (AscH−) functions as a versatile reducing agent. At pharmacological doses (P-AscH−; [plasma AscH−] ≥≈20 mM), achievable through intravenous delivery, oxidation of P-AscH− can produce a high flux of H2O2 in tumors. Catalase is the major enzyme for detoxifying high concentrations of H2O2. We hypothesize that sensitivity of tumor cells to P-AscH− compared to normal cells is due to their lower capacity to metabolize H2O2. Rate constants for removal of H2O2 (kcell) and catalase activities were determined for 15 tumor and 10 normal cell lines of various tissue types. A differential in the capacity of cells to remove H2O2 was revealed, with the average kcell for normal cells being twice that of tumor cells. The ED50 (50% clonogenic survival) of P-AscH− correlated directly with kcell and catalase activity. Catalase activity could present a promising indicator of which tumors may respond to P-AscH−. Ascorbate oxidizes in cell culture medium to generate a flux of H2O2. The rate constants for removal of extracellular H2O2 are on average 2-fold higher in normal cells than in cancer cells. The ED50 of high-dose ascorbate correlated with the ability of tumor cells to remove extracellular H2O2. The response to pharmacological ascorbate in murine-models of pancreatic cancer paralleled the in vitro results.

Abstract
SIGNIFICANCE The redox code is a set of principles that defines the positioning of the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD, NADP) and thiol/disulfide and other redox systems as well as the thiol redox proteome in space and time in biological systems. The code is richly elaborated in an oxygen-dependent life, where activation/deactivation cycles involving O₂ and H₂O₂ contribute to spatiotemporal organization for differentiation, development, and adaptation to the environment. Disruption of this organizational structure during oxidative stress represents a fundamental mechanism in system failure and disease. RECENT ADVANCES Methodology in assessing components of the redox code under physiological conditions has progressed, permitting insight into spatiotemporal organization and allowing for identification of redox partners in redox proteomics and redox metabolomics. CRITICAL ISSUES Complexity of redox networks and redox regulation is being revealed step by step, yet much still needs to be learned. FUTURE DIRECTIONS Detailed knowledge of the molecular patterns generated from the principles of the redox code under defined physiological or pathological conditions in cells and organs will contribute to understanding the redox component in health and disease. Ultimately, there will be a scientific basis to a modern redox medicine.

Abstract
The cysteine (Cys) proteome is a major component of the adaptive interface between the genome and the exposome. The thiol moiety of Cys undergoes a range of biologic modifications enabling biological switching of structure and reactivity. These biological modifications include sulfenylation and disulfide formation, formation of higher oxidation states, S-nitrosylation, persulfidation, metalation, and other modifications. Extensive knowledge about these systems and their compartmentalization now provides a foundation to develop advanced integrative models of Cys proteome regulation. In particular, detailed understanding of redox signaling pathways and sensing networks is becoming available to allow the discrimination of network structures. This research focuses attention on the need for atlases of Cys modifications to develop systems biology models. Such atlases will be especially useful for integrative studies linking the Cys proteome to imaging and other omics platforms, providing a basis for improved redox-based therapeutics. Thus, a framework is emerging to place the Cys proteome as a complement to the quantitative proteome in the omics continuum connecting the genome to the exposome.

Development and characterization of a hydrogen peroxide-resistant cholangiocyte cell line: A novel model of oxidative stress-related cholangiocarcinoma genesis. Biochem Biophys Res Commun 2015; 464:182-8.

Abstract
Oxidative stress is a cause of inflammation-related diseases, including cancers. Cholangiocarcinoma is a liver cancer with bile duct epithelial cell phenotypes. Our previous studies in animal and human models indicated that oxidative stress is a major cause of cholangiocarcinoma development. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) can generate hydroxyl radicals, which damage lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids, leading to cell death. However, some cells can survive by adapting to oxidative stress conditions, and selective clonal expansion of these resistant cells would be involved in oxidative stress-related carcinogenesis. The present study aimed to establish H2O2-resistant cell line from an immortal cholangiocyte cell line (MMNK1) by chronic treatment with low-concentration H2O2 (25 μM). After 72 days of induction, H2O2-resistant cell lines (ox-MMNK1-L) were obtained. The ox-MMNK1-L cell line showed H2O2-resistant properties, increasing the expression of the anti-oxidant genes catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase-1 (SOD1), superoxide dismutase-2 (SOD2), and superoxide dismutase-3 (SOD3) and the enzyme activities of CAT and intracellular SODs. Furthermore, the resistant cells showed increased expression levels of an epigenetics-related gene, DNA methyltransferase-1 (DNMT1), when compared to the parental cells. Interestingly, the ox-MMNK1-L cell line had a significantly higher cell proliferation rate than the MMNK1 normal cell line. Moreover, ox-MMNK1-L cells showed pseudopodia formation and the loss of cell-to-cell adhesion (multi-layers) under additional oxidative stress (100 μM H2O2). These findings suggest that H2O2-resistant cells can be used as a model of oxidative stress-related cholangiocarcinoma genesis through molecular changes such as alteration of gene expression and epigenetic changes.

Abstract
Hydrogen peroxide, the nonradical 2-electron reduction product of oxygen, is a normal aerobic metabolite occurring at about 10 nm intracellular concentration. In liver, it is produced at 50 nmol/min/g of tissue, which is about 2% of total oxygen uptake at steady state. Metabolically generated H2O2 emerged from recent research as a central hub in redox signaling and oxidative stress. Upon generation by major sources, the NADPH oxidases or Complex III of the mitochondrial respiratory chain, H2O2 is under sophisticated fine control of peroxiredoxins and glutathione peroxidases with their backup systems as well as by catalase. Of note, H2O2 is a second messenger in insulin signaling and in several growth factor-induced signaling cascades. H2O2 transport across membranes is facilitated by aquaporins, denoted as peroxiporins. Specialized protein cysteines operate as redox switches using H2O2 as thiol oxidant, making this reactive oxygen species essential for poising the set point of the redox proteome. Major processes including proliferation, differentiation, tissue repair, inflammation, circadian rhythm, and aging use this low molecular weight oxygen metabolite as signaling compound.

Abstract
Intracellular compartmentation of metabolites without intervening membranes is an important concept that has emerged from consideration of the metabolic inhomogeneities associated with a highly organized and structured cytoplasm within mammalian cells. This recognition is primarily due to the development of experimental approaches to measure metabolite or ion concentrations at specific subcellular sites, thereby providing a means to study concentration gradients within the aqueous cytoplasm in intact cells. The presence of mitochondrial clusters has been shown to create gradients of low molecular weight species, such as O2, ATP, and pH, with important implications for substrate supply for function and regulation of cellular processes. Moreover, the existence of kinetically distinct precursor pools has been shown to result in functional compartmentation of biochemical pathways, such as DNA replication and carbohydrate metabolism. The creation of these specialized microzones of metabolism in accordance with their association with cellular organelles or membranal structures may be integral to normal function and regulation of adult mammalian cells.

Abstract
Spectroscopic and kinetic investigations have been carried out on catalase from bovine liver and from Aspergillus niger to address the mechanism of activity loss at high hydrogen peroxide concentrations (0.01 to 2 M). The mammalian enzyme was both reversibly inhibited and irreversibly inactivated in the presence of hydrogen peroxide, whereas the fungal enzyme did not show any reversible inhibition. A comparison of reaction rates with catalase preparations containing different proportions of Compound III indicated that the formation of Compound III is responsible for the reversible inhibition of bovine liver catalase at high H2O2 concentrations. Superoxide radical did not appear to be the inactivating species in this mechanism. Kinetic modelling emphasises the role of Compound III in both types of activity loss. It shows that the higher activity of A. niger catalase at high substrate concentration, compared to bovine liver catalase, the lack of reversible inhibition of the former and its lower rate of irreversible inactivation may be attributed both to a high rate of conversion of Compound III into native form and to a low rate of conversion of Compound I to Compound II.

Abstract
The effect of ethanol on nitrite oxidation was investigated in the perfused rat liver. Real-time spectral changes in catalase were obtained using a reflectance scanning spectrophotometer in rat liver perfused with Krebs-Henseleit bicarbonate buffer in a non-recirculating system. The nitrite oxidation rate and nitrate production rate were calculated from the differences in concentrations between the influx and efflux perfusates and from the flow rate/g liver weight. Nitrite infusion caused an increase in absorbance difference delta A (640-660 nm), indicating decomposition of catalase compound I to the free form. Administration of ethanol during the nitrite infusion caused a further increase in delta A (640-660 nm) and significant decreases in both the nitrite oxidation rate and the nitrate production rate. Both the nitrite oxidation rate and nitrate production rate decreased, depending on the concentration of ethanol administered. At 10 mM ethanol, they reached about half the rates before the ethanol infusion. In conclusion, ethanol inhibits nitrite oxidation by catalase in the perfused rat liver at relatively low concentrations that can be realized in blood by daily alcohol consumption.

Abstract
A portable reflectance spectrophotometry system, which can measure a wide range of absorbance and has an adhesive pad type fibre optic probe, was developed to improve the availability of non-invasive reflectance spectrophotometry. A Czerny-Turner type spectrometer, which can be connected to an optical fibre probe, was developed, and a linear charge coupled device (CCD) was used as its light detector to increase data acquisition speed. The scanning time of the linear CCD is automatically controlled in accordance with the reflectance of meat to increase the dynamic range of absorption. We tried to apply this instrument to samples of meat pigments in order to demonstrate whether reflectance spectrophotometry is suitable for evaluating the freshness of meat. We examined the myoglobin solution in the form of the met-derivative in order to detect the concentration of myoglobin. The absorbance spectrum of myoglobin in the range of 0-4 mg dl(-1) was successfully distinguished with this instrument.

Abstract
Addition of benzylamine (0.5 mM) to isolated perfused rat liver led to a net release of K+ of 10.5 +/- 0.3 mumol/g, which was accompanied by a decrease in liver mass by 9.3 +/- 0.4% and a decrease of the intracellular water space by 13.7 +/- 0.6%, suggestive of hepatocellular shrinkage. Benzylamine had no effect on the perfusion pressure, and there was a close relationship between benzylamine-induced net K+ release and the accompanying decrease in liver mass. Benzylamine-induced net K+ release was sensitive to inhibition of monoamine oxidase by pargyline and increased with benzylamine flux through monoamine oxidase, suggesting its dependence on intracellular H2O2 formation. In line with this, infusion of H2O2 (but not of benzaldehyde, the other product of benzylamine metabolism) stimulated net K+ release from the liver. However, at a given H2O2 load K+ release was about 2-3-fold higher when H2O2 was generated intracellularly during the oxidation of benzylamine, as compared with exogenously delivered H2O2. Inhibition of catalase by 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole (0.2 mM) significantly increased the benzylamine-induced net K+ release as well as the benzylamine-induced release of GSSG into bile, but had no effect on benzylamine oxidation at monoamine oxidase. In the presence of Ba2+ (1 mM) or in Ca(2+)-free perfusions, the benzylamine-induced net K+ efflux was diminished by 60-70% or about 30%, respectively. This was not explained by the 20-30% decrease in flux through monoamine oxidase observed under these conditions. The results suggest that metabolic generation of H2O2 inside the liver leads to a net K+ efflux and subsequent hepatocellular shrinkage. Net K+ efflux under these conditions is enhanced when catalase is inhibited, suggesting that the rate of both intracellular H2O2 generation and degradation can modulate cellular K+ balance and cellular volume. The data support the idea that oxidative stress may affect hepatocellular functions also by lowering the hepatocellular hydration state.

Abstract
Fiber optic probes for a small portable reflectance spectrophotometry system for noninvasive clinical diagnosis have been developed. A slender fiber optic probe, 3 m long, 2.4-mm diameter, which goes into the channel of a fiber optic endoscope, has been developed as the standard probe. To expand the availability and capability of this reflectance spectrophotometry system, some variations of the fiber optic probes were developed: contact sensor, pressure sensor, attachments for dental use, and a modified-shape probe head for continuous monitoring. The feasibility of these fiber optic probes was examined experimentally.

Abstract
Newborn Wistar rats were made hyperthyroid by injection of tri-iodothyronine and assayed for survival, brain oxygen uptake, brain chemiluminescence and activity of antioxidant enzymes. Brain chemiluminescence was measured (1) by removing the parietal bones or (2) through the translucid parietal bones. Control animals showed a brain chemiluminescence of 130 +/- 12 c.p.s./cm2 and 99 +/- 10 c.p.s./cm2 for procedures (1) and (2) respectively. Hyperthyroid rats showed increases in the spontaneous brain photoemission of 46 and 70% compared with controls, measured by procedures 1 and 2 respectively. The hyperthyroid state did not modify the oxygen-dependent chemiluminescence of brain homogenates. The hyperthyroid animals showed a 30% increase in the oxygen uptake of brain slices and a dramatic shortening of life-span to about 16 weeks. Superoxide dismutase (the Cu-Zn enzyme), catalase and Se-dependent glutathione peroxidase activities of brain homogenates were increased by 18, 36 and 30% respectively in the hyperthyroid animals. Isolated brain mitochondria produced 0.18-0.20 nmol of H2O2/min per mg of protein in state 4 in the presence of succinate as substrate. No difference was observed between control and hyperthyroid animals. It is concluded that hyperthyroidism leads to hypermetabolism and oxidative stress in the brain. The increased levels of oxygen and peroxyl radicals may contribute to premature ageing in these animals.

Abstract
Spectral examinations of hemoglobin-free perfused rat livers with a high-sensitivity reflectance spectrophotometer have revealed an accumulation of catalase Compound II to an amount comparable to that of Compound I under the aerobic steady state. This finding is in contrast to a recent proposal that NADPH associated with catalase both prevents and reverses the accumulation of Compound II (Kirkman, H. N., Galiano, S., and Gaetani, G.F. (1987) J. Biol. Chem. 262, 660-666). Furthermore, spectral species with a broad peak extending from 550 to 600 nm were observed in a time range between the methanol-induced decays of Compound I and Compound II. When rats were treated with 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole, catalase Compound I was not detected but spectral species with peaks at 570, 556 and 530 nm were observed. These novel spectral profiles suggest contributions from "peroxy" and "ferryl" forms of cytochrome oxidase.

Abstract
A simple and rapid method for determination of catalase activity in small tissue samples is described. Using a new approach, we have exploited the peroxidatic function of catalase for the determination of enzyme activity. The method was based on the reaction of the enzyme with methanol in the presence of an optimal concentration of hydrogen peroxide. The formaldehyde produced was measured spectrophotometrically with 4-amino-3-hydrazino-5-mercapto-1,2,4-triazole (Purpald) as a chromogen. With this method, a detection limit of 12.5 ng of purified catalase from bovine liver was possible, and it was successfully applied to microgram amounts of mouse liver and pancreatic islet homogenates. The catalase activity in liver was about 50 times higher than that in pancreatic islets.

Abstract
The interaction of nitrite with catalase was investigated spectrophotometrically in the perfused rat liver. Real-time spectral changes were obtained using a reflectance scanning spectrophotometer in the liver perfused with a haemoglobin-free medium in a non-recirculating system. Administration of sodium nitrite caused a specific pattern of spectral change indicating the decomposition of catalase compound I to free catalase. The spectral change due to the interaction with nitrite did not occur during potassium cyanide or ethanol infusion, nor in the aminotriazole-pretreated rat liver. The spectral change was observed at concentrations of nitrite in the perfusate over 0.01 mM, and the K0.5 value (the concentration producing half the maximum spectral change) was 0.06 mM. It was concluded that relatively low concentrations of nitrite caused decomposition of catalase compound I in the physiologically functioning liver cell.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to measure rates of catalase-dependent ethanol uptake and rates of H2O2 generation in perfused rat livers in the presence of fatty acids of varying chain length. Rates of ethanol uptake in livers from fasted rats, perfused in a recirculating system, of about 80 mumol g-1 h-1 were decreased to about 10 mumol g-1 h-1 by the addition of an inhibitor of alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH), 4-methylpyrazole. The medium-chain-length fatty acid, laurate (12:0; 1 mM), increased rates of 4-methylpyrazole-insensitive ethanol uptake maximally to 80-85 mumol g-1 h-1. Rates of ethanol uptake diminished as the chain length of fatty acid was decreased [hexanoate (6:0) = 23 mumol g-1 h-1; octanoate (8:0) = 55 mumol g-1 h-1; decanoate (10:0) = 65 mumol g-1 h-1] or increased [myristate (14:0) = 77 mumol g-1 h-1; palmitate (16:0) = 80 mumol g-1 h-1; stearate (18:0) = 29 mumol g-1 h-1; oleate (18:1) = 60 mumol g-1 h-1; erucate (22:3) = 22 mumol g-1 h-1] from 12:0. Oleate did not increase rates of hydroxylation of p-nitrophenol, a substrate for the ethanol-inducible form of cytochrome P-450, indicating that the stimulation of ethanol uptake by fatty acids was not due to increased mixed-function oxidation. The increase of ethanol uptake was also not due to displacement of 4-methylpyrazole from ADH by fatty acids, since oleate stimulated ethanol uptake by about 50% in perfused livers from deermice genetically deficient in ADH. The increase in 4-methylpyrazole-insensitive ethanol uptake by fatty acids was blocked by the catalase inhibitor, aminotriazole, indicating the involvement of catalase. Rates of H2O2 generation by livers perfused in a non-recirculating system with 1.7% albumin were increased from 6 +/- 1 to 23 +/- 5 mumol g-1 h-1 by oleate (1 mM). Because of the discrepancy between rates of ethanol metabolism and H2O2 production, methods were developed to measure H2O2 production in a recirculating perfusion system. H2O2 generation was determined from the time necessary for steady-state level of catalase-H2O2, measured spectrophotometrically (660-640 nm) through a lobe of the liver, to return to basal values after the addition of a known quantity of methanol, which is not metabolized by ADH in the rat.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
Chemiluminescent and respiratory responses were studied in the liver of rats treated with 0.1 mg of triiodothyronine (T3)/kg for 1 to 7 days. Hyperthyroidism resulted in significant increments in the spontaneous chemiluminescence of the in situ liver in animals exhibiting a calorigenic response. Microsomal NADPH-dependent oxygen uptake was enhanced by T3 treatment for 2 days, an effect that was completely abolished by the antioxidant cyanidanol. A similar microsomal antioxidant-sensitive respiratory component was observed in this situation after the addition of t-butyl hydroperoxide (t-BHP). However, basal rates of microsomal oxygen uptake and light emission in liver homogenates and microsomes were decreased by t-BHP, probably related to thyroid hormone-induced diminution in the content of cytochrome P-450 (Fernández et al.) In addition, liver superoxide dismutase and catalase activities as well as the total content of glutathione were depressed by T3. These results indicate that the calorigenic response in the hyperthyroid state is accompanied by the development of an hepatic oxidative stress characterized by enhanced spontaneous chemiluminescence, enhanced NADPH-dependent microsomal respiration and a decreased antioxidant cellular activity.

Abstract
Hepatic microsomal fractions from ADH (alcohol dehydrogenase)-negative deermice incubated with an NADPH-generating system metabolized butanol and ethanol at rates around 10 nmol/min per mg. In contrast, cytosolic catalase from ADH-negative deermouse liver oxidized ethanol, but not butanol, when incubated with an H2O2-generating system. Thus butanol is oxidized by cytochrome P-450 in microsomal fractions, but not by cytosolic catalase, in tissues from ADH-negative deermice. In perfused livers from ADH-negative deermice, rates of ethanol uptake at low concentrations of ethanol (1.5 mM) were about 60 mumol/h per g, yet butanol (1.5 mM) uptake was undetectable (less than 4 mumol/h per g). At higher concentrations of alcohol (25-30 mM), rates of ethanol uptake were about 80 mumol/h per g, whereas rates of butanol uptake were only about 9 mumol/h per g. Because rates of butanol metabolism via cytochrome P-450 in deermice were more than an order of magnitude lower than rates of ethanol uptake in livers from ADH-negative deermice, it is concluded that ethanol uptake by perfused livers from ADH-negative deermice is catalysed predominantly via catalase-H2O2. In support of this conclusion, rates of H2O2 generation, which are rate-limiting for the peroxidation of ethanol by catalase, were about 65 mumol/h per g in livers from ADH-negative deermice, values similar to rates of ethanol uptake of about 60 mumol/h per g measured under identical conditions. Rates of ethanol uptake by perfused livers from ADH-positive, but not from ADH-negative, deermice were increased by about 50% by infusion of fructose. Thus it is concluded that the stimulation of hepatic ethanol uptake by fructose is dependent on the presence of ADH. Unexpectedly, fructose decreased rates of ethanol metabolism and H2O2 generation by about 60% in perfused livers from ADH-negative deermice, probably by decreasing activation of fatty acids and thus diminishing rates of peroxisomal beta-oxidation.

Abstract
In toxicology, it is of interest not only to assess enzyme levels and capacities for potential fluxes, but it is also useful to develop methods for determining actual concentrations and fluxes in the intact cell and organ. To this end, several noninvasive techniques have been developed over the years. Our interest has been largely in photometric techniques. Transmission spectrophotometry through solid organs permits monitoring of the cytochromes of the mitochondrial respiratory chain and cytochrome P-450 as well as other pigments of biological interest. Furthermore, the steady state level of catalase Compound I in liver provides information on rates of H2O2 production. These are in the nM to microM concentration range. More recently, the monitoring of photoemission from intact organs has been useful in toxicological problems. The major photoemissive species, singlet molecular oxygen and excited carbonyls, can now be monitored with good signal/noise ratio. Redox cycling of quinones and the generation of photoemissive species were studied in menadione metabolism. Inhibition of phase II led to a significant increase in the steady state level of singlet oxygen, as did the inhibition of two-electron reduction by using the inhibitor dicoumarol for DT diaphorase. Conversely, the induction of DT diaphorase by pretreatment with BHA protected by decreasing the level of reactive oxygen species.

Abstract
The role of vitamin E and selenium as protective agents against oxidative stress was evaluated by measuring liver chemiluminescence in situ. Weanling rats fed a vitamin E- and selenium-deficient diet showed liver chemiluminescence that was increased 60 and 100% over control values at 16 and 18 days respectively after weaning. At day 21, the double deficiency led to hepatic necrosis, as observed by optical and electron microscopy, and increased serum levels of lactate dehydrogenase and alanine aminotransferase. Single deficiencies, in either vitamin E or selenium, did not produce liver necrosis but increased liver chemiluminescence. Vitamin E deficiency led to a 23 and 50% increase in liver emission at days 18 and 20 respectively; selenium deficiency produced a 64% increase at day 16. The activity of liver selenium-glutathione peroxidase diminished to 13% of the control value in the rats fed doubly deficient and selenium-deficient diets. Activities of superoxide dismutase, catalase and non-selenium-glutathione peroxidase were not modified by the different diets. These results suggest that oxy-radical generation may play a major role in hepatic necrosis in vitamin E- and selenium-deficiency.

Abstract
Peroxidase catalysed the formation of active oxygen in the presence of NADH or GSH and traces of H2O2 and arylamine or phenolic substrates. Some oxygen activation occurred with some arylamines even in the absence of NADH or GSH. Oxygen consumption was proportional to the NADH oxidized or GSSG formed. Approximately 0.80 and 0.40 mol of oxygen were consumed per mole of NADH or GSH oxidized respectively. The requirement for trace amounts of hydrogen peroxide and arylamine or phenolic substrates suggest that redox cycling resulted in H2O2 formation. It is proposed that initially formed phenoxy radicals or arylamine cation radicals oxidize NADH or GSH to radicals which react with oxygen to form superoxide radicals and H2O2.

Abstract
Spontaneous mouse liver chemiluminescence (109 +/- 6 cps/cm2) was increased in the early phase after tumor implantation in a distant position with respect to the liver. A 39% increased liver chemiluminescence was observed after 5 days of the injection of Ehrlich ascites tumor cells into the peritoneal cavity, and a 64% and a 46% increased liver chemiluminescence were measured after 8 and 14 days of the implantation of a fibrosarcoma and of an adenocarcinoma, respectively, in the leg. At the time of maximal stimulation of in vivo liver chemiluminescence by the distant tumors, cytosolic superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase activities were decreased by 18%, 38%, and 26% in the liver of mice bearing Ehrlich ascites tumors. The same three enzymatic activities were decreased by 21%, 19%, and 54% respectively, in the liver of fibrosarcoma-bearing mice. Total liver glutathione was decreased by 18% to 22% in the tumor-bearing animals. Hydroperoxide-initiated chemiluminescence was increased in the homogenates (105% and 45%) and mitochondria (64% and 34%) from the liver of mice bearing Ehrlich ascites tumors and fibrosarcomas, respectively, at the time of maximal in situ liver chemiluminescence. The hydroperoxide-initiated chemiluminescence of liver microsomes was decreased by 46% to 36% in the tumor-bearing animals at the same time. It is concluded that the liver of tumor-bearing animals is subjected, during the early phase after tumor implantation, to an oxidative stress with increased steady-state levels of peroxyl radicals, which are essentially responsible for the increased photoemission observed in vivo.

Abstract
1. H2O2 formation associated with the metabolism of added fatty acids was quantitatively determined in isolated haemoglobin-free perfused rat liver (non-recirculating system) by two different methods. 2. Organ spectrophotometry of catalase Compound I [Sies & Chance (1970) FEBS Lett. 11, 172-176] was used to detect H2O2 formation (a) by steady-state titration with added hydrogen donor, methanol or (b) by comparison of fatty-acid responses with those of the calibration compound, urate. 3. In the use of the peroxidatic reaction of catalase, [14C]methanol was added as hydrogen donor at an optimal concentration of 1 mM in the presence of 0.2 mM-L-methionine, and 14CO2 production rates were determined. 4. Results obtained by the different methods were similar. 5. The yield of H2O2 formation, expressed as the rate of H2O2 formation in relation to the rate of fatty-acid supply, was less than 1.0 in all cases, indicating that, regardless of chain length, less than one acetyl unit was formed per mol of added fatty acid by the peroxisomal system. In particular, the standard substrate used with isolated peroxisomal preparations (C16:0 fatty acid) gave low yield (close to zero). Long-chain monounsaturated fatty acids exhibit a relatively high yield of H2O2 formation. 6. The hypolipidaemic agent bezafibrate led to slightly increased yields for most of the acids tested, but the yield with oleate was decreased to one-half the original yield. 7. It is concluded that in the intact isolated perfused rat liver the assayable capacity for peroxisomal beta-oxidation is used to only a minor degree. However, the observed rates of H2O2 production with fatty acids can account for a considerable share of the endogenous H2O2 production found in the intact animal.

Abstract
Utilizing reflectance spectrophotometry, hemoperfusion, rate of oxygen consumption and redox level of mitochondrial cytochrome c (+c1) in livers in situ of anesthetized rats were measured. The transition to the anoxic state was induced by raising the pressure on the liver surface to more than the hepatic blood pressure by pressing with the tip of the optical guide of the reflectance spectrophotometer. During this transition, the average oxygen saturation of hemoglobin in the liver in situ decreased linearly with time until it became 10--20% of the total. This was followed by reduction of mitochondrial cytochrome c (+c1), which reached completion in 10--20 s. The measured O2 consumption rate remained constant until the percentage of oxyhemoglobin in situ decreased to a critical level. There was then a decrease in the rate of O2 consumption which was accompanied by a progressive reduction of cytochrome c (+c1). It was shown that amounts of hemoglobin and mitochondrial respiratory chain cytochromes in the liver in situ could be measured non-invasively and could provide important signals for vital cellular functions. The changes in hemoperfusion and rate of O2 consumption of the liver in situ following ethanol ingestion were also shown in rats, and are briefly discussed with respect to possible application of this method to study the pathophysiology of tissues.

Abstract
Empirical estimations of H2O2 concentration in a system containing bovine liver catalase and continually supplied with H2O2 were done to evaluate the efficiency of the enzyme to cleave H2O2. It was found that the continuous addition of H2O2 leads to the formation of steady-state concentrations of H2O2 in the medium. At a constant catalase concentration both the level and the duration of the steady state are dependent on the flow rate of H2O2. The increase of the catalase concentration in the medium does not change the steady-state level, it merely leads to the maintenance of the steady state for longer durations. At higher flow rates of H2O2, no steady state could be maintained, even when catalase was present in high excess. The incomplete cleavage of H2O2 by catalase under these conditions is due to the low affinity of catalase toward H2O2 (high K m value, apparent K m = 0.1M H2O2) and to the rapid inactivation of the enzyme during the continuous addition of H2O2.

Abstract
Adenylate cyclase in rat adipocyte membranes was inactivated as a result of treatment with sulfhydryl oxidants or with p-chloromercuribenzoate as well as by S-alkylating agents. The inhibition of the basal and isoproterenol- or glucagon-stimulated enzyme activity by the oxidants or the mercurial could be reversed by adding thiols to the isolated membranes. The activity of the enzyme paralleled the cellular glutathione (GSH) content. Lowering of intracellular glutathione by incubating the cells with specific reactants resulted in the inhibition of both basal and hormone-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity in the isolated membranes. Activity could be partly restored by supplying glucose to the incubation medium of intact cells. The fluoride-stimulated adenylate cyclase was also inhibited by the oxidants or the sulfhydryl inhibitors. The results suggest that adenylate cyclase may be partly regulated by oxidation-reduction. Thus, a direct relationship between both basal and hormone-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity and the cellular redox potential, determined by the cellular level of reduced glutathione, may be ascribed to the protection of the catalytic -SH groups of the enzyme from oxidative or peroxidative reactions and maintenance of the redox optimum for the reaction.

Abstract
Methods for quantitation of catalase, cytochromes P-450 and b5 and mitochondrial cytochromes a + a3, b561 + b566, and c + c1 in isolated hepatocytes were developed in analogy to methods established for subcellular systems and were used to measure changes in specific hemoprotein concentrations due to pretreatment and to change in incubation conditions. Pretreatment of rats with phenobarbital or 3-methylcholanthrene resulted in increased concentrations of cytochromes P-450 and b5 on a cellular basis, but had no effect on the other hemoproteins. Chronic ethanol pretreatment resulted in increased cytochrome P-450 and decreased cytochromes a + a3 concentrations. Hemoprotein concentrations in hepatocytes decreased following 4-10-h incubations in rotating round-bottom flasks. Rates of decrease were dependent upon both incubation conditions and prior in vivo treatments with phenobarbital or 3-methylcholanthrene.
