The oxidation of lipids by components of bovine milk-fat globule membrane
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 June 2009
Summary
Bovine milk-fat globule membrane was solubilized with a zwitterionic surfactant and subjected to chromatography on agarose, with the surfactant in the eluant. Fractions were tested for their effects on the oxidation of buffered linoleate. The maximum oxidative capability was greatly enhanced by the addition of Cu, and became associated with the phospholipids.
Further chromatography of the retarded protein peak from agarose on Sephadex G-200, again in the presence of surfactant, gave 2 protein peaks. Oxidative effectiveness resided almost entirely in the first peak, which was devoid of phospholipid, but high in xanthine oxidase activity. This fraction was subjected to isoelectric focusing, and the xanthine oxidase from this was highly pro-oxidative. Furthermore, its oxidative capability was almost doubled on heat treatment.
