Abstract

Malondialdehyde formations by bovine heart submitochondrial particles supported by NADH or NADPH in the presence of ADP and FeCl3 was studied. The NADH-dependent reaction was maximal at very low rate of electron input from NADH to the respiratory chain and it decreased when the rate became high. The reaction was stimulated by rotenone and inhibited by antimycin A when the input was fast, whereas it was not affected by the inhibitors when the input was slow. The input rate of the electrons from NADPH was also so low that the reaction supported by NADPH was not affected by the inhibitors. Most of the endogenous ubiquinone in the particles treated with antimycin A was reduced by NADH even in the presence of ADP-Fe3+ chelate, but uniquinone was not reduced by NADPH when ADP-Fe3+ was present. Succinate strongly inhibited both NADH- and NADPH-dependent lipid peroxidation. The inhibition was abolished when uniquinone was removed from the particles, and it appeared again when uniquinone was reincorporated into the particles. Reduced uniquinone-2 also inhibited the peroxidation, but duroquinol, which reduces cytochrome b without reducing endogenous uniquinone, did not. Thus the malondialdehyde formation appeared to be inversely related to the extent of the reduction of endogenous uniquinone. These observations suggest that both NADH- and NADPH-dependent liquid-peroxidation reactions are closely related to the respiratory chain and that the peroxidation is controlled by the concentration of reduced ubiquinone.
