Mitochondria-rich fractions isolated from livers of rats fed diets differing in their vitamin E (E) and/or selenium (Se) contents were subjected to NADPH/ADP/Fe3+-dependent assays of lipid peroxidation. Addition of GSH resulted in an inhibition, or lag period, of lipid peroxidation in mitochondria from rats supplemented with E. This effect was independent of the Se status of the rats. Addition of GSH + GSSG did not potentiate the lag period over that observed with GSH alone. Significant changes in mitochondrial alpha-TH during lipid peroxidation, either in the presence or absence of GSH, were not observed. Total protein thiol (PrSH) content of native mitochondria was lower in rats fed a diet deficient in both E and Se, compared to the other dietary groups. Addition of GSH or GSH + GSSG maintained mitochondrial PrSH at higher levels during lipid peroxidation than in control assays without added GSH/GSSG. Addition of GSSG alone decreased PrSH in mitochondria prepared from all rats regardless of their E or Se status. Reduced ubiquinone-9 (U-9) and the % of total U-9 and U-10 in the reduced form were significantly decreased in liver tissue from rats fed the diet deficient in both E and Se.
