Chemiluminescent and respiratory responses related to thyroid hormone-induced liver oxidative stress
Author
Abstract
Chemiluminescent and respiratory responses were studied in the liver of rats treated with 0.1 mg of triiodothyronine (T)/kg for I 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 T, 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 aftcr 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 (Fernändez ei a/.) In addition, liver superoxide dismutase and catalase activities as well as the total content of glutathione were depressed by T, These results indicate that the cal
