The effect of endogenous glycogen on lipid peroxidation was examined in hepatic microsomes from rats. Microsomes were prepared to retain endogenous hepatic glycogen (Pg+) or to minimize it (Pg-). The indices of lipid peroxidation examined included the rate of NADPH-dependent formation of malondialdehyde (MDA) and the concomitant destruction of cytochrome P-450 and decline in the linearity of benzphetamine N-demethylase activity in microsomes. Cytochrome P-450 was destroyed during benzphetamine N-demethylation in microsomes with the loss being more extensive in Pg- than in Pg+. The destruction of cytochrome P-450 and the concomitant loss in linearity of benzphetamine N-demethylation in Pg- were prevented by added EDTA. Added linoleic acid hydroperoxide (LAHP) also caused a time-dependent loss of cytochrome P-450 in microsomes with the rate being greater in Pg- than in Pg+. The results show that glycogen inhibits hepatic microsomal lipid peroxidation and suggest that variations in glycogen content may contribute to disparities in in vitro oxidative activities between different microsomal samples. Such disparities may be minimized by the removal of glycogen during the preparation of microsomes and then supplementing the incubation mixtures with EDTA. The in vivo relevance of the observed antioxidant effect of glycogen is discussed in terms of the possible modulation by the polysaccharide of hepatotoxicity by agents whose effects may be mediated by lipid peroxidation.
