PG - 51-60 AB - In vivo interactions of vitamin E with diethylmaleate (DEM) and bromotrichloromethane (CBrCl3) were examined in rats fed a diet either without vitamin E or supplemented with 30 IU dl-alpha-tocopheryl acetate/kg. Groups of rats within each dietary group were given two injections 30 min apart. One group received two injections of the mineral oil carrier. The other groups were injected with either DEM and mineral oil, mineral oil and CBrCl3, or DEM and CBrCl3. The rats were killed 10 min after the second injection. Measurements were made of hepatic GSH, thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS) as a lipid peroxidation index, and 11 enzymes as potential markers of oxidant damage. Special focus was placed on reactive cysteine-containing aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH). Although dietary vitamin E protected ALDH, the enzyme was highly susceptible to oxidant damage. ALDH activity was correlated with GSH (r = 0.83, p less than 0.001) and there was an inverse relationship between the logarithmic values of ALDH activity and TBARS (r = 0.78, p less than 0.001). Similar results were observed for a number of other enzymes when GSH depletion preceded oxidant treatment. Two-way analysis of variance revealed significant effects of vitamin E and of injection treatments on hepatic GSH. There was a significant interaction between vitamin E and the injection treatments on the activities of five enzymes. The results suggested that vitamin E and GSH functioned together to protect sensitive enzymes against oxidant stress. The sensitive enzymes may be useful markers of hepatic damage in vivo.
