We have incubated heart mitochondria with ferrous ions as catalyst of lipid peroxidation. Ferrous ions induced an increase of malondialdehyde formation and a reduction of mitochondrial oxygen consuming and calcium transporting capacities. L-Carnitine and Acetyl-L-Carnitine failed to prevent mitochondrial damage. Propionyl-L-Carnitine significantly improved mitochondrial function, but failed to reduce malondialdehyde formation. This protective effect was specific for Propionyl-L-Carnitine as propionic acid and L-Carnitine did not modify mitochondrial damage.
我们已将心脏线粒体与亚铁离子一起孵育,以作为脂质过氧化反应的催化剂。亚铁离子会导致丙二醛生成增加,以及线粒体耗氧能力和钙转运能力降低。左旋肉碱和乙酰左旋肉碱未能预防线粒体损伤。丙酰左旋肉碱显著改善了线粒体功能,但未能减少丙二醛的生成。这种保护作用是丙酰左旋肉碱所特有的,因为丙酸和左旋肉碱并未改变线粒体损伤情况。
