The interaction between lipid peroxidation and prostaglandin synthesis in rabbit kidney-medulla slices.

Lipid peroxidation induced by ascorbic acid and Fe2+ was inhibited by mepacrine (phospholipase A2 inhibitor) and aspirin (prostaglandin cyclo-oxygenase inhibitor) in rabbit kidney-medulla slices. Moreover, ascorbic acid and Fe2+ potentiated the inhibitory effect on prostaglandin E2 formation by mepacrine, but they had no influence on prostaglandin E2 production decreased by aspirin. Lipid peroxidation induced by ascorbic acid and Fe2+ appears to be affecting the activity of prostaglandin endoperoxide synthase. These results suggest that lipid peroxidation is connected closely with the prostaglandin-generating system, and it has the potential to modulate the turnover of arachidonic acid and prostaglandin synthesis.[1]
