Abstract
Cardiac microsomes from rats injected with doxorubicin (5 mg/kg ip x 3) were susceptible to dramatically enhanced NADPH-dependent lipid peroxidation in the presence of doxorubicin in vitro (18-fold increases over control peroxidation). These results suggest that doxorubicin treatment in vivo caused biochemical alterations which predisposed cardiac microsomal membranes to attack by anthracycline free radical-generated oxyradicals.Entities:
