Abstract

The antioxidizig action of 20-hydroxyecdysone was investigated in several systems in vitro. Changes in the parameters of chemiluminescence in the presence of 20-hydroxyecdysone were found in rat liver mitochondrial fractions. The effect of 20-hydroxyecdysone on methyl linoleate micelles free radical oxidation was studied. The rate of oxygen uptake in methyl linoleate micelles was found to be smaller when 20-hydroxyecdysone was present than at its absence. The action of 20-hydroxyecdysone in the liposomal membranes oxidation was investigated be means of α-tocopherol consumption. A lower rate of α-tocopherol consumption in the oxidation of liposomal membranes was found when 20-hydroxyecdysone was present. The effect of cholesterol on free radical formation in liposomal membranes was investigated. The rate of free-radical formation was smaller when cholesterol was present in the membrane than in membranes free of cholesterol. The α-tocopherol antioxidant effect in the membrane was also lower when cholesterol was present. We show here for the first time that 20-hydroxyecdysone has an antioxidant action in combination with α-tocopherol in membranes with cholesterol overload. Kinetic measurements were revealed the 20-hydroxyecdysone antioxidant effect on free radical reactions in membranes.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
