Inhibition of rat heart and liver microsomal lipid peroxidation by nifedipine
1989
Abstract Lipid peroxidation in rat heart and liver microsomes was induced by an NADPH-generating system or by ascorbate in the presence of an ADP-iron complex. Microsomal lipid peroxidation, as measured by malonaldehyde formation, was inhibited by nifedipine over a wide range of concentrations (47 μM to 6 μM). Nifedipine also decreased the oxygen consumption of cardiac and hepatic microsomes in a concentration-dependent manner. These results indicate that nifedipine may perturb microsomal electron transport systems. Nifedipine may have the potential to alter the sensitivity of cardiac and hepatic membranes to peroxidative damage.
