摘要
The glutathione system plays a major role in the protection of cells against oxidative stress in humans. The aim of the present study was to find out the relationship between the glutathione system and plasma lipid peroxidation in six renal transplant recipients (who are under oxidative stress and thus at high risk for atherosclerosis), by using dietary selenium to activate the glutathione system. 2,2'-Azobis-2-amidinopropane hydrochloride (AAPH)-induced plasma lipid peroxidation was increased (by 60%) in all six patients in comparison to normal subjects. A similar pattern of increased plasma lipid peroxidation was found even in the basal state (in the absence of added AAPH). CuSO4-induced low-density lipoprotein (LDL) oxidation measured by peroxide formation was also significantly increased by 2.3-fold in the patients' LDL in comparison to normal LDL. Even in the absence of CuSO4, the LDC oxidation state was also increased in the patients' LDL in comparison to normal LDL. We thus analyzed the effect of dietary selenium (0.2 mg/day for a period of 3 months, followed by an additional 3 months on placebo) on plasma and on LDL lipid peroxidation. Selenium treatment resulted in a 50% reduction in AAPH-induced plasma lipid peroxidation. The susceptibility of the patients' plasma to lipid peroxidation returned toward baseline values 3 months after termination of the selenium treatment. Similar results, although less pronounced (only 15% reduction), were obtained for CuSO4-induced LDL oxidation. Analyses of the patients' red blood cell (RBC) glutathione system revealed low levels of reduced glutathione and decreased activities of RBC glutathione peroxidase and glutathione reductase by 23%, 18%, and 20%, respectively, in comparison to normal RBC. Selenium treatment resulted in a significant elevation of RBC glutathione peroxidase and glutathione reductase activities and in reduced glutathione content by 64%, 57%, and 11%, respectively; this effect was also paralleled by a 39% reduction in the RBC oxidized glutathione content. On termination of the selenium treatment, and after 3 months on placebo, all of these values of the glutathione system elements returned toward baseline levels. We thus conclude that dietary selenium, which activates the glutathione system, is a potent antioxidant against plasma and LDL lipid peroxidation in renal transplant recipients, and may thus be considered antiatherogenic.
