Abstract
A NADPH-dependent H2O2 generating system associated with a thyroid particular fraction is described. H2O2 is measured by two different methods: iodination of NADPH itself when the system is supplemented with lactoperoxidase and [125I]iodide, and by the scopoletin method. It is shown that: H2O2 generation is inhibited by catalase and is dependent on NADPH or particulate protein concentration; radical scavengers of OH and of singlet oxygen have no effect while superoxide dismutase has only a marginal effect; disruption of the particular fraction by phospholipase A2 or digitonin treatment completely abolished H2O2 generation activity while thyroid peroxidase activity appears, suggesting different sites for the two activities in the membrane vesicles.Entities:
