Particle-bound glutathione-S-transferases.

P Kraus, B Gross

    Enzyme
    |January 1, 1979
    PubMed
    Summary

    Electrophilic compounds react with glutathione in liver microsomes and mitochondria. This reaction forms glutathione conjugates and depletes glutathione levels.

    Area of Science:

    • Biochemistry
    • Cell Biology
    • Toxicology

    Background:

    • Glutathione (GSH) is a crucial endogenous antioxidant.
    • Liver microsomes and mitochondria are key cellular organelles involved in metabolism and detoxification.
    • Electrophilic compounds can pose cellular damage risks.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the interaction between electrophilic compounds and glutathione in liver subcellular fractions.
    • To identify the products of this interaction.

    Main Methods:

    • Incubation of liver microsomes and mitochondria with glutathione.
    • Introduction of electrophilic compounds to the incubation mixture.
    • Measurement of glutathione concentration.
    • Analysis of reaction products.

    Main Results:

    • A decrease in glutathione concentration was observed in the incubation medium.
    • Formation of glutathione conjugates was confirmed through product analysis.

    Conclusions:

    • Liver microsomes and mitochondria facilitate the conjugation of electrophilic compounds with glutathione.
    • This process represents a detoxification pathway, albeit one that consumes cellular glutathione.
