In addition, APC reduced cytochrome c and ferric ion, chelated ferrous ion, and inhibited ferrous sulfate: ascorbate-induced fragmentation and sugar oxidation to 80-90%.

Both groups received identical diet but an iron supplement (180 mg of ferrous sulfate per kg of diet) was added for the control group.
Isolated mitochondrial fractions from iron-deficient and control rats contained similar proportions of whole homogenate protein and succinic cytochrome c reductase activity, indicating that the fractions isolated from the experimental and control rats were comparable.

Exposure of mature hippocampal slices to ferrous sulfate resulted in concentration- and time-dependent cell death.
Levels of cytochrome c were increased while levels of pro-caspase-9 and pro-caspase-3 were decreased in cytosolic fractions of iron-treated hippocampal slice cultures.

Peptides. 2005 Apr;26(4):551-63. Epub 2004 Dec 29.

L-Glu-Hist accelerated the decrease of ferrous iron in the ferrous sulfate solution in a concentration-dependent mode and showed the ferroxidase-like activity at concentrations less than 3 mM in the phenanthroline assay, whereas in the concentration range 3-20 mM L-Glu-Hist restricted the availability of Fe2+ to phenanthroline due to binding of ferrous ions in chelating complexes.
The stimulation of LPO by L-Glu-Hist was related to the ability of peptidomimetic in small (approximately 0.05 mM) concentrations to release O2*- free radicals as determined by the superoxide dismutase-inhibitable cytochrome c reduction assay.

Biochemistry. 1999 May;64(5):510-22.

L-Glu-Hist concentration-dependently accelerates a decrease in ferrous iron in ferrous sulfate solution and shows ferroxidase-like activity at concentrations less than 3 mM in the phenanthroline assay, whereas in the concentration range 3-20 mM it restricts the availability of Fe2+ to phenanthroline by chelation of iron ions.
The stimulation of LPO by L-Glu-Hist is related to its ability at low concentrations (*0.05 mM) to release O2 free radicals as determined by the superoxide dismutase-inhibitable reduction of cytochrome c.

In addition, cytochrome P-450 levels, NADPH- and NADH-cytochrome c reductase activities, and substrate interactions with cytochrome (s) P-450 decreased as lipid peroxidation progressed.
