Abstract

Allyl alcohol administration in a toxic dose (1.5 mmol/kg) to starved mice causes the development of hemolysis in nearly 50% of the animals. Malonic dialdehyde (MDA) appears in plasma of the animals showing hemolysis. The treatment of mice with desferrioxamine after allyl alcohol intoxication completely prevents lipid peroxidation and hemolysis, suggesting the involvement of iron in the allyl alcohol-induced erythrocyte damage. Erythrocytes obtained from intoxicated mice before the development of hemolysis show, upon incubation, release of iron, lipid peroxidation and lysis. Studies carried out with reconstituted systems of erythrocyte lysates, containing ghosts and different fractions of erythrocyte cytosol and incubated in the presence of acrolein (the major metabolite of allyl alcohol), strongly suggest that iron is released from hemoglobin. This iron appears to promote lipid peroxidation which is accompanied by erythrocyte lysis. Thus, the allyl alcohol-induced hemolysis appears to be a model for iron delocalization from iron stores.
