ABSTRACT

The dependence of the diffusion current on the depth of immersion of the electrode was studied by polarography using an open platinum electrode. As the electrode was brought from the depth of the liquid phase to its surface, an increase in the current under aerobic conditions was observed, due to diffusion of oxygen through the interface. The formation of lipid monolayers of phosphatidylcholine, stearic acid, hexadecanol, octadecanol, eicosanol, and docosanol on the water surface led to a decrease in diffusion current; the effect being most pronounced at a minimal depth of immersion of the electrode. The maximum value of the relative decrease in diffusion current R was obtained for docosanol monolaers. It was shown that the R value increases with increasing surface pressure in monolayers of phosphatidylcholine and stearic acid. It is assumed that the decrease in diffusion flow of O2 in the presence of monolayers is caused by the formation of an energy barrier that prevents the sorption of O2, which is related to the presence of hydrocarbon chains weakly interacting with oxygen.

ABSTRACT

The morphogenesis of mammary glands was studied in the normal and autoimmune F1(NZW X NZB) mice. In the lactation cycle of the autoimmune mice the normal course of structural-functional rearrangements of parenchyma and stroma in the developing and involuting mammary glands was disturbed. A conclusion has been reached that the modification of stromal elements, first of all involved in the autoimmune disease, is the leading link in the abnormal development of mammary glands.

ABSTRACT

Egg yolk phosphatidylcholine monolamellar liposomes (1000 A in diameter) loaded with cytochrome c were placed into an external solution, in which superoxide radicals, O2-., were generated by a xanthine-xanthine oxidase system. The penetration of the superoxide radicals across the liposomal membrane was detected by cytochrome c reduction in the inner liposome compartment. The effects of modifiers and temperature on this process were studied. The permeability of liposomal membrane for O2-. (P'O-2 = (7.6 +/- 0.3) X 10(-8) cm/s), or HO.2 (P'HO.2 = 4.9 X 10(-4) cm/s) were determined. The effect of the transmembrane electric potential (K+ concentration gradient, valinomycin) on the permeability of liposomal membranes for O2-. were investigated. It was found that O2-. can penetrate across liposomal membrane in an uncharged form. The feasibility of penetration of superoxide radicals through liposomal membrane, predominantly via anionic channels, was demonstrated by the use of an intramolecular cholesterol-amphotericin B complex.

ABSTRACT

Lecithin monolayer liposomes (1000 A in diameter) loaded with cytochrome c were placed into the external solution, in which O2 superoxide radicals were regenerated by the xanthine-xanthine oxidase system. The penetration of superoxide radicals across the liposomal membranes was followed by cytochrome c reduction in the interval volume of the liposomes. The effects of lipid membrane modifiers and temperature on this process were investigated. The results obtained were used for calculation of the permeability coefficients of bilayer lipid membranes for O(2) (P'O(2) = (7.6 +/- 0.3) . 10(-8) cm . s-1) or HO . 2(P'HO(2) = 4.9 x 10(-4) cm . s-1). The effect of the transmembrane electric potential (concentration gradient of H+, valinomycin) on the permeability of liposomal membranes for the superoxide radical was studied. The superoxide radical was down to penetrate across the bilayer lipid membranes in an unloaded state. Using an intramolecular cholesterol-amphotericin B-complex, the superoxide radicals were shown to penetrate across the bilayer lipid membranes, predominantly via the anionic channels.
