Popis: In the presence of NADPH, cytochrome c stimulates approximately a 200-fold increase in the production of singlet oxygen by the bovine adrenodoxin reductase-adrenodoxin system. The formation of singlet oxygen, which was monitored by the attending chemiluminescence, was markedly inhibited by the addition of superoxide dismutase or 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane. The adrenal system, in the presence of cytochrome c, peroxidized adrenal mitochondrial lipids, as indicated by the formation of malondialdehyde. This oxidation is also inhibited by the addition of dismutase and 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane.
