TLDR
Catalysis of peroxidation of unsaturated fatty acids by the mitochondrial and microsomal fractions of liver is inhibited by ascorbic acid at pH7.4 but the activity of the supernatant fraction is enhanced.Abstract:
1. Homogenates of rat liver, spleen, heart and kidney form lipid peroxides when incubated in vitro and actively catalyse peroxide formation in emulsions of linoleic acid or linolenic acid. 2. In liver, catalytic activity is distributed throughout the nuclear, mitochondrial and microsomal fractions and is present in the 100000g supernatant. Activity is weak in the nuclear fraction. 3. Dilute (0.5%, w/v) homogenates catalyse peroxidation over the range pH5.0-8.0 but concentrated (5%, w/v) homogenates inhibit peroxidation and destroy peroxide if the solution is more alkaline than pH7.0. 4. Ascorbic acid increases the rate of peroxidation of unsaturated fatty acids catalysed by whole homogenates of liver, heart, kidney and spleen at pH6.0 but not at pH7.4. 5. Catalysis of peroxidation of unsaturated fatty acids by the mitochondrial and microsomal fractions of liver is inhibited by ascorbic acid at pH7.4 but the activity of the supernatant fraction is enhanced. 6. Inorganic iron or ferritin are active catalysts in the presence of ascorbic acid. 7. Lipid peroxide formation in linoleic acid or linolenic acid emulsions catalysed by tissue homogenates is partially inhibited by EDTA but stimulated by o-phenanthroline. 8. Cysteine or glutathione (1mm) inhibits peroxide formation catalysed by whole homogenates, mitochondria or haemoprotein. Inhibition increases with increase of pH.read more

Naringin mitigate okadaic acid-induced cognitive impairment in an experimental paradigm of Alzheimer's disease
TL;DR: The protective effects of naringin (200 mg/kg) were similar to these of rivastigmine in ICV-OKA-induced rats implicating that naring in has a potential to be explored as a novel strategy for treatment of dementias.

Mechanisms of lipid peroxide formation in tissues. role of metals and haematin proteins in the catalysis of the oxidation unsaturated fatty acids.
TL;DR: Oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids such as linoleic acid and linolenic acid is catalysed by metals at 37° in the pH range 4.5–7.5 with the formation of peroxides and it is considered that, in vivo, lipid peroxide formation is likely to be a result of oxidation of uns saturated lipids.
