Captive Callitrichids frequently suffer a fatal wasting disease, wasting marmoset syndrome (WMS), of unexplained cause. This paper describes studies on the erythrocytes from animals in a breeding colony of tamarins ( Saguinus labiatus), in which deaths from anaemia and wasting were occurring, to seek evidence for biochemical changes which could lead to oxidative damage and premature cell lysis. In only one animal of 33 studied did the red blood cell lipids show an increased susceptibility to oxidative damage. This animal, with some degree of certainty, could be diagnosed as having WMS. It was concluded that evidence for a primary deficiency of antioxidants as a cause of unexplained deaths, or WMS, in the colony could not at present be substantiated.

Abstract 1-anilino-naphthalene-8 -sulfonate (ANS) fluorescence measurements have revealed that red blood cell membrane of the Rhnull type undergoes a transition at about 16 °C. In contrast, viscosity measurements of the extracted membrane lipids showed the usually observed transition at about 18 °C. Lower values of titratable sulfhydryl (SH) groups were observed in Rhnull membrane using 5,5′-dithiobis-(2-nitro-benzoic-acid) (Nbs2). In contrast, disulfide bonds in Rhnull membrane were estimated to be about 3 times the value of the controls. Spin labeling experiments using 2-(3-carboxypropyl)-4, 4 dimethyl-2-tridecyl 3-oxazolidinyl-oxyl were carried out with phospholipase A2 modified membranes. The mobile part of the spectra was significantly increased on the Rhnull membrane. In the presence of ᴅ-glucose, infrared spectrometry showed a larger reduction of the intensity of the POO-band in Rhnull membrane. In contrast to controls, binding of the reagent diethylpyrocarbonate resulted in no significant changes of the Rhnull membrane as determined by electron spin resonance (ESR) measurements. ᴅ-glucose transport activity was found to be at the upper level of a group of Rh positive and Rh negative persons. It is suggested that the intensity of the polar protein-lipid interaction is reduced in Rhnull membrane.

Aim To study the oxidative modification of red blood cell Cu,Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD) in patients with ischemic heart disease (IHD) in vivo and in vitro to substantiate the use of a new oxidative stress marker.Material and methods Red blood cell Cu,Zn SOD was measured by depression of nitrotetrazolium blue reduction by the superoxide anion generated in xanthine oxidase xanthine oxidation. Red blood cell Cu,Zn SOD was measured immunochemically. The biochemical study was performed in the control group (patients with low extremity fracture without known history of cardiovascular diseases and hyperlipidemia) and in groups of patients with acute myocardial infarction, stable angina, and decompensated heart failure. For evaluation of oxidative stress intensity in IHD patients, an empirical SOD oxidative modification coefficient (OMCSOD) was proposed, which is a Cu,Zn SOD activity / Cu,Zn SOD content ratio.Results The red blood cell Cu,Zn SOD activity was significantly decreased in all IHD groups compared to the control group. Furthermore, OMCSOD was also considerably decreased in IHD patients, which warrants the use of this biochemical index as an oxidative stress marker.Conclusion It was shown that the Cu,Zn SOD modification was induced by interaction of the enzyme molecules with a natural dicarbonyl, malonic dialdehyde, and OMCSOD can be used for evaluation of oxidative stress intensity in IHD patients.
