Abstract:
An inhibitor of lipid peroxidation present in the soluble fraction of rat liver homogenates has been stabilized by dithiothreitol. In the presence of an appropriate concentration of dithiothreitol, soluble fractions from 3-methylcholanthrene-pretreated rats and from older rats exhibited stronger inhibition of lipid peroxidation than those from control rats.
