Abstract
The current view on peroxisomes has changed dramatically from being human cell oddities to vital organelles that host several key metabolic pathways. To fulfil over 50 different enzymatic functions, human peroxisomes host either unique peroxisomal proteins or dual-localized proteins. The identification and characterization of the complete peroxisomal proteome in humans is important for diagnosis and treatment of patients with peroxisomal disorders as well as for uncovering novel peroxisomal functions and regulatory modules. Hence, here we compiled a comprehensive list of mammalian peroxisomal and peroxisome-associated proteins by curating results of several quantitative and non-quantitative proteomic studies together with entries in the UniProtKB and Compartments knowledge channel databases. Our analysis gives a holistic view on the mammalian peroxisomal proteome and brings to light potential new peroxisomal and peroxisome-associated proteins. We believe that this dataset, represents a valuable surrogate map of the human peroxisomal proteome.

Abstract
Peroxisomes are unique subcellular organelles which play an indispensable role in several key metabolic pathways which include: (1.) etherphospholipid biosynthesis; (2.) fatty acid beta-oxidation; (3.) bile acid synthesis; (4.) docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) synthesis; (5.) fatty acid alpha-oxidation; (6.) glyoxylate metabolism; (7.) amino acid degradation, and (8.) ROS/RNS metabolism. The importance of peroxisomes for human health and development is exemplified by the existence of a large number of inborn errors of peroxisome metabolism in which there is an impairment in one or more of the metabolic functions of peroxisomes. Although the clinical signs and symptoms of affected patients differ depending upon the enzyme which is deficient and the extent of the deficiency, the disorders involved are usually (very) severe diseases with neurological dysfunction and early death in many of them. With respect to the role of peroxisomes in metabolism it is clear that peroxisomes are dependent on the functional interplay with other subcellular organelles to sustain their role in metabolism. Indeed, whereas mitochondria can oxidize fatty acids all the way to CO2 and H2O, peroxisomes are only able to chain-shorten fatty acids and the end products of peroxisomal beta-oxidation need to be shuttled to mitochondria for full oxidation to CO2 and H2O. Furthermore, NADH is generated during beta-oxidation in peroxisomes and beta-oxidation can only continue if peroxisomes are equipped with a mechanism to reoxidize NADH back to NAD+, which is now known to be mediated by specific NAD(H)-redox shuttles. In this paper we describe the current state of knowledge about the functional interplay between peroxisomes and other subcellular compartments notably the mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum for each of the metabolic pathways in which peroxisomes are involved.

Abstract
Peroxisomes perform a large variety of metabolic functions that require a constant flow of metabolites across the membranes of these organelles. Over the last few years it has become clear that the transport machinery of the peroxisomal membrane is a unique biological entity since it includes nonselective channels conducting small solutes side by side with transporters for 'bulky' solutes such as ATP. Electrophysiological experiments revealed several channel-forming activities in preparations of plant, mammalian, and yeast peroxisomes and in glycosomes of Trypanosoma brucei. The properties of the first discovered peroxisomal membrane channel - mammalian Pxmp2 protein - have also been characterized. The channels are apparently involved in the formation of peroxisomal shuttle systems and in the transmembrane transfer of various water-soluble metabolites including products of peroxisomal β-oxidation. These products are processed by a large set of peroxisomal enzymes including carnitine acyltransferases, enzymes involved in the synthesis of ketone bodies, thioesterases, and others. This review discusses recent data pertaining to solute permeability and metabolite transport systems in peroxisomal membranes and also addresses mechanisms responsible for the transfer of ATP and cofactors such as an ATP transporter and nudix hydrolases.

Abstract
Peroxisomes are multifunctional organelles with an important role in the generation and decomposition of reactive oxygen species (ROS). In this review, the ROS-producing enzymes, as well as the antioxidative defense system in mammalian peroxisomes, are described. In addition, various conditions leading to disturbances in peroxisomal ROS metabolism, such as abnormal peroxisomal biogenesis, hypocatalasemia, and proliferation of peroxisomes are discussed. We also review the role of mammalian peroxisomes in some physiological and pathological processes involving ROS that lead to mitochondrial abnormalities, defects in cell proliferation, and alterations in the central nervous system, alcoholic cardiomyopathy, and aging.

Abstract
Aldehyde dehydrogenases (Aldhs) are a group of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate-dependent enzymes that catalyze the oxidation of a wide spectrum of aldehydes to carboxylic acids. Tissue distribution and developmental changes in the expression of the messenger RNA (mRNA) of 15 Aldh enzymes were quantified in male and female mice tissues using the branched DNA signal amplification assay. Furthermore, the regulation of the mRNA expression of Aldhs by 15 typical microsomal enzyme inducers (MEIs) was studied. Aldh1a1 mRNA expression was highest in ovary; 1a2 in testis; 1a3 in placenta; 1a7 in lung; 1b1 in small intestine; 2 in liver; 3a1 in stomach; 3a2 and 3b1 expression was ubiquitous; 4a1, 6a1, 7a1, and 8a1 in liver and kidney; 9a1 in liver, kidney, and small intestine; and 18a1 in ovary and small intestine. mRNAs of different Aldh enzymes were detected at lower levels in fetuses than adult mice and gradually increased after birth to reach adult levels between 15 and 45 days of age, when the gender difference began to appear. Aromatic hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) ligands induced the liver mRNA expression of Aldh1a7, 1b1, and 3a1, constitutive androstane receptor (CAR) activators induced Aldh1a1 and 1a7, whereas pregnane X receptor (PXR) ligands and NF-E2 related factor 2 (Nrf2) activators induced Aldh1a1, 1a7, and 1b1. Peroxisome proliferator activator receptor alpha (PPAR alpha) ligands induced the mRNA expression in liver of almost all Aldhs. The Aldh organ-specific distribution may be important in elucidating their role in metabolism, elimination, and organ-specific toxicity of xenobiotics. Finally, in contrast to other phase-I metabolic enzymes such as CYP450 enzymes, Aldh mRNA expression seems to be generally insensitive to typical microsomal inducers except PPAR alpha ligands.

Abstract
In this review, we describe the current state of knowledge about the biochemistry of mammalian peroxisomes, especially human peroxisomes. The identification and characterization of yeast mutants defective either in the biogenesis of peroxisomes or in one of its metabolic functions, notably fatty acid beta-oxidation, combined with the recognition of a group of genetic diseases in man, wherein these processes are also defective, have provided new insights in all aspects of peroxisomes. As a result of these and other studies, the indispensable role of peroxisomes in multiple metabolic pathways has been clarified, and many of the enzymes involved in these pathways have been characterized, purified, and cloned. One aspect of peroxisomes, which has remained ill defined, is the transport of metabolites across the peroxisomal membrane. Although it is clear that mammalian peroxisomes under in vivo conditions are closed structures, which require the active presence of metabolite transporter proteins, much remains to be learned about the permeability properties of mammalian peroxisomes and the role of the four half ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters therein.

Abstract
The review is dedicated to recent progress in the study of peroxisomal membrane permeability to solutes which has been a matter of debate for more than 40 years. Apparently, the mammalian peroxisomal membrane is freely permeable to small solute molecules owing to the presence of pore-forming channels. However, the membrane forms a permeability barrier for 'bulky' solutes including cofactors (NAD/H, NADP/H, CoA, and acetyl/acyl-CoA esters) and ATP. Therefore, peroxisomes need specific protein transporters to transfer these compounds across the membrane. Recent electrophysiological studies have revealed channel-forming activities in the mammalian peroxisomal membrane. The possible involvement of the channels in the transfer of small metabolites and in the formation of peroxisomal shuttle systems is described.

Abstract
3-Methyl-branched fatty acids, as phytanic acid, undergo peroxisomal alpha-oxidation in which they are shortened by 1 carbon atom. This process includes four steps: activation, 2-hydroxylation, thiamine pyrophosphate dependent cleavage and aldehyde dehydrogenation. The thiamine pyrophosphate dependence of the third step is unique in peroxisomal mammalian enzymology. Human pathology due to a deficient alpha-oxidation is mostly linked to mutations in the gene coding for the second enzyme of the sequence, phytanoyl-CoA hydroxylase.

Abstract
In normal liver aldehyde dehydrogenase 3 (ALDH3) is poorly expressed. In hepatoma cells, its expression increases in direct correlation with the degree of deviation and increased ALDH3 activity is one cause of resistance to the toxicity of drugs and lipid peroxidation aldehydes. Hepatoma cells with high ALDH3 content are more resistant to the cytotoxic effect of aldehydes than those with low ALDH3, and inhibition of the enzyme with aldehydes, specific inhibitors or antisense oligonucleotides (AS-ODN), decreases cell growth. It remains open how ALDH3 influences cell growth or cell phenotype. Recently, we have shown that enrichment of a highly deviated rat hepatoma cell line, JM2, with arachidonic acid, a natural ligand of peroxisome proliferator activated receptors (PPARs), inhibits growth, partially restores ALDH2 and ALDH3 to their normal levels and induces PPAR expression. In the present study we address the effect of clofibrate, a hypolipidemic drug and synthetic PPAR ligand on ALDH gene expression. We show that treatment of JM2 cells with clofibrate inhibits cell growth, induces PPARgamma and decreases ALDH3 expression. To determine the relationship between PPARgamma and ALDH3 expression, we exposed JM2 cells to AS-ODN against PPARgamma. AS-ODN reduced PPARgamma content and prevented the inhibitory effect of clofibrate on cell proliferation and ALDH3 expression. Since these results indicate that ALDH3 expression is under PPAR control, we examined the 5' flanking sequence of the ALDH3 gene, but were unable to find any sequence similar to any known peroxisome proliferator response element. We thus believe that the effect of PPARgamma on ALDH3 occurs via other transcription factors, whose identity remain to be determined. The results indicate that PPARgamma plays a key role in regulation of growth and differentiation of hepatoma cells, and that ALDH3 collaborates in modulating cell proliferation and in determining some aspects of the hepatoma phenotype, i.e. resistance to drugs and to lipid peroxidation products.

Abstract
Pretreatment with peroxisome proliferators protects mice against various hepatotoxicants. Since our previous work suggested that the hepatoprotection may involve an increased ability to cope with oxidative stress, the present work directly addressed this possibility. Several observations indicated a heightened defense against oxidative stress accompanies the hepatoprotection produced by clofibrate. Firstly, the carbonyl content of hepatic proteins from clofibrate-pretreated mice was 40% lower than those from vehicle-treated controls. Secondly, liver homogenates from clofibrate-pretreated mice produced less thiobarbituric acid reactive substances upon incubation under aerobic conditions or exposure to ferrous sulfate. This effect was not due to lower levels of peroxidation-prone polyunsaturated fatty acids in clofibrate-treated livers. Thirdly, in vitro experiments indicated that the antioxidant factor in liver homogenates from clofibrate-pretreated mice was not glutathione. Rather, since it was inactivated by proteases and heat treatment, we concluded that a protein is involved. Collectively, our results suggest that a resistance to lipid peroxidation develops in mouse liver during exposure to clofibrate. The identity of the putative antioxidant protein and its contribution to the protection against liver toxicity observed in this and other laboratories awaits future investigation.

Abstract
Fatty aldehyde dehydrogenase (FALDH) is a microsomal enzyme that catalyzes the oxidation of aliphatic aldehydes to fatty acids. Mutations in the FALDH gene are responsible for the human genetic disorder Sjögren-Larsson syndrome (SLS) which is characterized by ichthyosis, mental retardation, and spasticity. To better understand SLS and the expression of FALDH in mammalian tissues, we investigated the organization and expression of the mouse FALDH gene (recently named ALDH3A2). The mouse gene consists of 11 exons and spans about 25 kb. Primer extension experiments identified the transcription initiation site at nt -121 relative to the translation initiating codon. The major FALDH transcript was 3 kb long and was composed of exons 1-10. A less abundant alternately spliced transcript contained an additional exon (exon 9') inserted between exons 9 and 10 and encodes a protein (FALDHv) with a variant carboxy-terminal domain of unknown function. Northern analysis usingRNA from different tissues showed widespread but variable expression of the gene, which generally correlated with FALDH enzyme activity. Expression of the alternate exon 9' transcript in tissues often differed from that of the major transcript and did not reflect enzyme activity. These results provide a basis for investigating the in vivo expression of FALDH in response to physiologic and pharmacologic manipulation, and are essential for the development of an animal model of SLS.

Abstract
Synthetic 3-methyl-branched chain fatty acids were used to decipher the breakdown of phytanic acid. Based on results obtained in intact or permeabilized rat hepatocytes, rat liver homogenates or subcellular fractions, a revised alpha-oxidation pathway is proposed which appears to be functioning in man as well. In a first step, the 3-methyl-branched chain fatty acid is activated by an acyl-CoA synthetase. This reaction requires CoA, ATP and Mg2+. Subsequently, the acyl-CoA ester is hydroxylated at position 2 by a peroxisomal dioxygenase. This step is dependent on alpha-oxoglutarate, ascorbate (or glutathione), Fe2+ and O2. The 2-hydroxy-3-methylacyl-CoA intermediate is cleaved by a peroxisomal lyase to formyl-CoA and a 2-methyl-branched fatty aldehyde. Formyl-CoA is (partly enzymically) hydrolyzed to formate, which is then converted, most likely in the cytosol, to CO2. In the presence of NAD+, the aldehyde is dehydrogenated to a 2-methyl-branched fatty acid, presumably by a peroxisomal aldehyde dehydrogenase. This acid can--after activation--be degraded via a D-specific peroxisomal beta-oxidation system.

Abstract
In the final reaction of peroxisomal alpha-oxidation of 3-methyl-branched fatty acids a 2-hydroxy-3-methylacyl-CoA intermediate is cleaved to formyl-CoA and a hitherto unidentified product. The release of formyl-CoA suggests that the unidentified product may be a fatty aldehyde. When purified rat liver peroxisomes were incubated with 2-hydroxy-3-methylhexadecanoyl-CoA 2-methylpentadecanal was indeed formed. The production rates of formyl-CoA (measured as formate) and of the aldehyde were in the same range. While the production of formate remained unaltered in the presence of NAD+, the amount of 2-methylpentadecanal was decreased, which was accompanied by the formation of 2-methylpentadecanoic acid. These data indicate that (1) during alpha-oxidation the 2-hydroxy-3-methylacyl-CoA is cleaved to a 2-methyl-branched aldehyde and formyl-CoA and (2) liver peroxisomes are capable of converting this aldehyde to a 2-methyl-branched fatty acid.

Abstract
To better understand the genetic disorder Sjogren-Larsson syndrome which is caused by a deficiency of fatty aldehyde dehydrogenase activity, we determined the subcellular localization of the enzyme and investigated its biochemical properties. Using density gradient centrifugation, we found that fatty aldehyde dehydrogenase activity was predominantly localized in the microsomal fraction in human liver. This fatty aldehyde dehydrogenase was solubilized from human liver microsomes and purified by chromatography on columns consisting of omega-aminohexyl-agarose and 5'-AMP-Sepharose 4B. The enzyme had an apparent subunit molecular weight of 54000, required NAD+ as cofactor, had optimal activity at pH 9.8, and was thermolabile at 47 degrees C. Fatty aldehyde dehydrogenase had high activity towards saturated and unsaturated aliphatic aldehydes ranging from 6 to 24 carbons in length, as well as dihydrophytal, a 20-carbon branched chain aldehyde. In contrast, acetaldehyde, propionaldehyde, crotonaldehyde, glutaraldehyde, benzaldehyde, and retinaldehyde were poor substrates. The enzyme was inhibited by disulfiram, iodoacetamide, alpha,p-dibromoacetophenone, and p-chloromercuribenzoate. These results indicate that microsomal fatty aldehyde dehydrogenase is a distinct human aldehyde dehydrogenase isozyme that acts on a variety of medium- and long-chain aliphatic substrates.

Abstract
Aldehydes are highly reactive molecules that may have a variety of effects on biological systems. They can be generated from a virtually limitless number of endogenous and exogenous sources. Although some aldehyde-mediated effects such as vision are beneficial, many effects are deleterious, including cytotoxicity, mutagenicity, and carcinogenicity. A variety of enzymes have evolved to metabolize aldehydes to less reactive forms. Among the most effective pathways for aldehyde metabolism is their oxidation to carboxylic acids by aldehyde dehydrogenases (ALDHs). ALDHs are a family of NADP-dependent enzymes with common structural and functional features that catalyze the oxidation of a broad spectrum of aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes. Based on primary sequence analysis, three major classes of mammalian ALDHs--1, 2, and 3--have been identified. Classes 1 and 3 contain both constitutively expressed and inducible cytosolic forms. Class 2 consists of constitutive mitochondrial enzymes. Each class appears to oxidize a variety of substrates that may be derived either from endogenous sources such as amino acid, biogenic amine, or lipid metabolism or from exogenous sources, including aldehydes derived from xenobiotic metabolism. Changes in ALDH activity have been observed during experimental liver and urinary bladder carcinogenesis and in a number of human tumors, including some liver, colon, and mammary cancers. Changes in ALDH define at least one population of preneoplastic cells having a high probability of progressing to overt neoplasms. The most common change is the appearance of class 3 ALDH dehydrogenase activity in tumors arising in tissues that normally do not express this form. The changes in enzyme activity occur early in tumorigenesis and are the result of permanent changes in ALDH gene expression. This review discusses several aspects of ALDH expression during carcinogenesis. A brief introduction examines the variety of sources of aldehydes. This is followed by a discussion of the mammalian ALDHs. Because the ALDHs are a relatively understudied family of enzymes, this section presents what is currently known about the general structural and functional properties of the enzymes and the interrelationships of the various forms. The remainder of the review discusses various aspects of the ALDHs in relation to tumorigenesis. The expression of ALDH during experimental carcinogenesis and what is known about the molecular mechanisms underlying those changes are discussed. This is followed by an extended discussion of the potential roles for ALDH in tumorigenesis. The role of ALDH in the metabolism of cyclophosphamidelike chemotherapeutic agents is described. This work suggests that modulation of ALDH activity may an important determinant of the effectiveness of certain chemotherapeutic agents.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
1. The effect of chronic ethanol consumption on the level of the t-butyl hydroperoxide (Bu'OOH)-induced lipid peroxidation in rat liver homogenate and subcellular fractions was measured using chemiluminescence technique and malondialdehyde formation. 2. It was shown that under the action of ethanol the rate of lipid peroxidation was decreased in the whole and "postnuclear" liver homogenates. 3. Ethanol significantly decreased the intensity of lipid peroxidation in microsomes, but did not affect the Bu'OOH-dependent process in mitochondria. 4. The level of lipid peroxidation was reduced after incubation of the total particulate fraction (mitochondria plus microsomes) with the undialysed cytosol from ethanol-treated rat liver. Dialysis of the cytosol prevented depressive effect of ethanol treatment on lipid peroxidation. 5. Reduced glutathione (0.1-1.0 mM) was shown to decrease the rate of lipid peroxidation in rat liver microsomes, but did not affect its level in mitochondria. 6. Pyrazole injections to rats reduced and phenobarbital treatment increased the level of the Bu'OOH-dependent lipid peroxidation in liver microsomes. 7. The data obtained indicate that the Bu'OOH-dependent lipid peroxidation is not an appropriate marker of the ethanol-induced oxidative stress in rat liver cells.

Abstract
Subcellular distribution of pentose-phosphate cycle enzymes in rat liver was investigated, using differential and isopycnic centrifugation. The activities of the NADP+-dependent dehydrogenases of the pentose-phosphate pathway (glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and phosphogluconate dehydrogenase) were detected in the purified peroxisomal fraction as well as in the cytosol. Both dehydrogenases were localized in the peroxisomal matrix. Chronic administration of the hypolipidemic drug clofibrate (ethyl-alpha-p-chlorophenoxyisobutyrate) caused a 1.5-2.5-fold increase in the amount of glucose-6-phosphate and phosphogluconate dehydrogenases in the purified peroxisomes. Clofibrate decreased the phosphogluconate dehydrogenase, but did not alter glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity in the cytosolic fraction. The results obtained indicate that the enzymes of the non-oxidative segment of the pentose cycle (transketolase, transaldolase, triosephosphate isomerase and glucose-phosphate isomerase) are present only in a soluble form in the cytosol, but not in the peroxisomes or other particles, and that ionogenic interaction of the enzymes with the mitochondrial and other membranes takes place during homogenization of the tissue in 0.25 M sucrose. Similar to catalase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and phosphogluconate dehydrogenase are present in the intact peroxisomes in a latent form. The enzymes have Km values for their substrates in the millimolar range (0.2 mM for glucose-6-phosphate and 0.10-0.12 mM for 6-phosphogluconate). NADP+, but not NAD+, serves as a coenzyme for both enzymes. Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase was inhibited by palmitoyl-CoA, and to a lesser extent by NADPH. Peroxisomal glucose-6-phosphate and phosphogluconate dehydrogenases have molecular mass of 280 kDa and 96 kDa, respectively. The putative functional role of pentose-phosphate cycle dehydrogenases in rat liver peroxisomes is discussed.

Abstract
Lipid peroxidation in microsomal membranes produces a large number of aldehydes, alcohols, and ketones, some of which have been shown to be cytotoxic. This study has determined the kinetic parameters for the oxidation of aldehyde lipid peroxidation products by purified rat hepatic microsomal aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH). Livers were obtained from male Sprague-Dawley rats for preparation of microsomal ALDH which was purified 400-fold. Kinetic parameters, Vmax and V/K, were determined for saturated and unsaturated aldehydes of three to nine carbons in length in the presence of NAD+. Of the aldehydes examined, only acrolein and 4-hydroxynonenal were not oxidized by ALDH. The Vmax values (mumol NADH produced/min/mg protein) increased linearly with carbon chain length and ranged from 6.5 to 23 for the saturated series and 4.0 to 9.0 for the unsaturated aldehydes. The affinity constant V/K (nmol NADH produced/min/mg protein/nmol aldehyde/liter) also increased with carbon chain length and ranged from 12 to 9000 for the saturated aldehydes and 13 to 5300 for the unsaturated aldehydes. These results suggest that microsomal ALDH may serve a biological role for detoxification of reactive aldehydes produced by lipid peroxidation of microsomal membranes.

Abstract
1. The effect of chronic ethanol treatment on the level of lipid peroxidation in rat liver homogenate and subcellular fractions was measured using chemiluminescence technique and malondialdehyde formation. 2. It was shown that after chronic ethanol treatment the level of Fe/ADP-ascorbate-induced lipid peroxidation was decreased in the whole and "postnuclear" liver homogenates. Dilution of the homogenates prevented depressive effect of ethanol on lipid peroxidation. 3. Chronic ethanol treatment did not affect the intensity of the Fe/ADP-ascorbate-induced process in rat liver mitochondria and microsomes. 4. Peroxidative alteration of the liver lipids in vivo was evaluated by measurement of conjugated dienes (absorbance at 233 nm). It was shown that ethanol did not increase the level of u.v. absorption of lipids from mitochondria and microsomes. Chronic alcohol treatment did not influence the steady-state concentration of malonic dialdehyde in the whole liver homogenate. 5. The data obtained indicate that cytosol from the ethanol treated rat liver contains a factor(s) which prevents Fe/ADP-ascorbate-dependent lipid peroxidation in biological membranes.

Abstract
1. In order to test the hypothesis that the alcoholic cardiomyopathy under partial catalase inhibition is associated with the activation of lipid peroxidation in cardiomyocytes (Panchenko et al., Experientia 43, 580-581, 1987), the effects of ethanol and catalase inhibitor 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole (aminotriazole) on rat heart and liver content of reduced glutathione and on the activity of enzymes related to peroxide metabolism: catalase, superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, glutathione reductase, glutathione-S-transferase and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase were investigated. 2. In accordance with the data obtained by Kino (J. molec, cell. Cardiol. 13, 5-12, 1981), when ethanol (36% of dietary calories) and aminotriazole were simultaneously administered an alcoholic cardiomyopathy developed while in the liver moderate fatty degeneration was revealed. 3. Chronic combined or separate administration of ethanol and aminotriazole was shown to increase glutathione concentration and glutathione-S-transferase activity in rat liver. In the groups of animals which received isocaloric carbohydrates in the diet instead of ethanol the liver glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase was increased. 4. Acute and chronic aminotriazole injections led to catalase inactivation and in the latter case also to inhibition of the liver superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase activities. 5. Ethanol and aminotriazole treatment did not alter the glutathione level and the activity of all enzymes tested (except catalase) in rat myocardium.

Abstract
To elucidate a possible role of membrane-bound aldehyde dehydrogenase in the detoxication of aldehydic products of lipid peroxidation, the substrate specificity of the highly purified microsomal enzyme was investigated. The aldehyde dehydrogenase was active with different aliphatic aldehydes including 4-hydroxyalkenals, but did not react with malonic dialdehyde. When Fe/ADP-ascorbate-induced lipid peroxidation of arachidonic acid was carried out in an in vitro system, the formation of products which react with microsomal aldehyde dehydrogenase was observed parallel with malonic dialdehyde accumulation.

Abstract
Porcine hepatocyte organelles were separated by isopycnic sucrose gradient centrifugation from livers of 6-month-old Yorkshire pigs. The presence of a peroxisomal palmitoyl-CoA oxidizing system and a peroxisomal NAD:aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) with high Km for acetaldehyde was demonstrated. Peroxisomal palmitate oxidizing capacity was found to be equal to that of the surviving mitochondria. The high Km isozyme of ALDH was mainly located in the mitochondria (54%), with a significant portion in the peroxisome (32%). Remaining activity is distributed among the microsomes (8.3%) and cytosol (4.6%). The low Km isozyme was confined almost exclusively to the mitochondria. ALDH may exist in the peroxisome as a detoxification mechanism and contribute to shorter half-lives of reactive aldehydes in the cell. Species differences are discussed.

Abstract
Clofibrate treatment was shown to increase the content of reduced glutathione in rat liver and kidney, but did not alter the glutathione level in heart, brain, spleen and small intestine. Clofibrate did not affect the activity of superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, glutathione reductase and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase in rat liver and heart. The drug decreased the activity of glutathione-S-transferase in the cytosolic fraction of liver homogenate. Glutathione-S-transferase activity in small intestine was also reduced. The administration of clofibrate decreased the content of polypeptides with mol. wt of 22,000 and 24,000 (possible monomers of glutathione-S-transferase) in the cytosolic fraction of liver cells.
