RESUMO
Electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy has been used to investigate hydroxyl radical generation in rats with chronic dietary iron loading. A secondary radical spin-trapping technique was used where hydroxyl radical forms methyl radical upon reaction with DMSO. The methyl radical was then detected by ESR spectroscopy as its adduct with the spin trap alpha-phenyl-N-t-butylnitrone (PBN). This adduct was detected in the bile of rats 10 wk after being fed an iron-loading diet and 40 min after the i.p. injection of the spin trap PBN dissolved in DMSO. Bile samples were collected into a solution of the ferrous stabilizing chelator 2,2'-dipyridyl in order to prevent the generation of radical adducts ex vivo during bile collection. Identification of the ESR spectrum of the major radical adduct as that of PBN/.CH3 provides evidence for the generation of the hydroxyl radical during iron supplementation. Desferal completely inhibited in vivo hydroxyl radical generation stimulated by high dietary iron intake. No radical adducts were detected in rats which were fed the control diet for the same period of time. This is the first evidence of hydroxyl radical generation in chronic iron-loaded rats.
