The effects of C-terminal fragment of natural peptide apelin-12 H-Arg-Pro-Arg-Leu-Ser-His-Lys-Gly-Pro-Met-Pro-Phe-OH (A12) and its structural analog H-(NαMe)Arg-Pro-Arg-Leu-Ser-His-Lys-Gly-Pro-Nle-Pro-Phe-OH (AI) on Cu2+-induced free radical oxidation of low-density lipoprotein in human blood plasma and activity of commercially available enzymes superoxide dismutase and catalase in a concentration range of 0.01-1 mM were examined. A12 and AI had no effect on superoxide dismutase and catalase activities during 24-h co-incubation with these enzymes at 4°C. When used in a concentration of 1 mM, A12 and AI decreased the maximum low-density lipoprotein oxidation rate by 51 and 47%, respectively, and lengthened the lag phase of low-density lipoprotein oxidation by 2.6 and 1.8 times, respectively, which confirmed their antioxidant potency.
