Superior and distinct antioxidant effects of selected estrogen metabolites on lipid peroxidation

Metabolism: Clinical and Experimental

Abstract

The effect of the estrogen metabolites, 4-hydroxyestrone and 17alpha-dihydroequilin (metabolites of estradiol-17beta and equilin, respectively), were examined for antioxidant effects on plasma and lipoprotein lipid peroxidation . Lipid peroxidation was evaluated by products of both fatty acid (thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances [TBARS]) and cholesterol (oxysterols) oxidation from lipoproteins or whole plasma. Although all estrogens significantly reduced lipid peroxidation, 4-hydroxyestrone was far more potent than either equilin or 17alpha-dihydroequilin in inhibiting TBARS formation in lipoproteins induced by Cu2+. Similar effects were also noted on TBARS formation in THP-l macrophages in culture. However, 17alpha-dihydroequilin (along with equilin) strongly inhibited oxysterol formation, whereas 4-hydroxyestrone was ineffective. These studies suggest that different estrogens might act preferentially on distinct lipid substrates in exhibiting antioxidant effects.

ApoE, Lipids & Cholesterol

Serum cholesterol, triglycerides, apolipoprotein B (APOB)-containing lipoproteins (very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), immediate-density lipoprotein (IDL), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL), lipoprotein A (LPA)) and the total cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol ratio are all connected in diseases. Here is the latest research.
