Physiological role of peroxisomal beta-oxidation in liver of fasted rats.

In the livers of fasted rats, the activity of peroxisomal palmitocyl-CoA oxidation (NADH production) was increased more rapidly and markedly than that of mitochondrial carnitine palmitoyltransferase, which is the rate limiting enzyme of mitochondrial beta-oxidation. The peroxisomal oxidizing activity was about twice that of the control throughout the period of fasting (1-7 days). carnitine acetyltransferase activity was increased to a similar extent in both peroxisomes and mitochondria. A possible physiological role of liver peroxisomes may thus be as an effective supply of NADH2, acetyl residues and short and medium-length fatty acyl-CoA in the cells on the enhancement of peroxisomal beta-oxidation of the animals under starvation; these substances thus produced may be transported into the mitochondria as energy sources.

Peroxyoxalate chemiluminescent assay for oxidase activities based on detecting enzymatically formed hydrogen peroxide.

A sensitive peroxyoxalate chemiluminescent (PO-CL) assay for activities of oxidases (uricase, choline oxidase, cholesterol oxidase and xanthine oxidase) which catalyse a formation of hydrogen peroxide was developed using 4,4'-oxalyl- bis[(trifluoromethyl-sulphonyl)imino]trimethylene-bis(4- methylmorpholinium)trifluoromethanesulphonate as a chemiluminogenic reagent and 2,4,6,8-tetramorpholinopyrimido[5,4- d]pyrimidine as fluorophore. The standard curve for hydrogen peroxide was linear over the range 1 x 10(-7)-1 x 10(-4) mol/L. Relative standard deviations for oxidase assays were 5.1-12.7% (n = 10). Detection limits were 1 x 10(-3) U/mL for uricase, 5 x 10(-4) U/mL for choline oxidase, 5 x 10(-3) U/mL for cholesterol oxidase and 5 x 10(-4) U/mL xanthine oxidase (sample to blank ratio, 3).
