Oxidative damage of kidney, heart, lung, and spleen measured by oxidized heme proteins in tissue slices

Oxidative damage to rat kidney, heart, lung, and spleen was measured by the formation of oxidized heme proteins (OHP) in tissue slices. Kidney, heart, lung, and spleen slices were incubated in oxygenated KRP-glucose buffer at 37 degrees C with and without the presence of prooxidants. The absorbance...

Description
Summary:Oxidative damage to rat kidney, heart, lung, and spleen was measured by the formation of oxidized heme proteins (OHP) in tissue slices. Kidney, heart, lung, and spleen slices were incubated in oxygenated KRP-glucose buffer at 37 degrees C with and without the presence of prooxidants. The absorbance spectra (500-640 nm) of heme proteins in the fresh and oxidized tissue slices were analyzed, and the concentrations of OHP, such as methemoglobin, ferrylhemoglobin, hemichrome, oxidized mitochondrial, and microsomal cytochromes were determined with a heme protein spectra analysis program. Bromotrichloromethane (CBrCl3), tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP), ferrous sulfate (FeSO4), and cupric chloride (CuCl2) accelerated the oxidative reactions, and the amount of OHP was dependent on the incubation time as well as the type and concentration of prooxidants
