The specificity of an iodometric assay for measuring lipid peroxides in lipoproteins was tested, compared with the fluorimetric thiobarbituric acid assay, and adopted for detecting lipid peroxide in plasma samples. Oxidation of low density lipoproteins in vitro by Cu2+, lipoxidase, and phagocytosing polymorphonuclear leucocytes was sensitively detected by the iodometric assay. Unlike the thioba...

I . A micro-adaptation of the iodimetric method has been used to determine lipid peroxides in the tissues of vitamin E-deficient rats and chicks. 2. No increases in lipid peroxide were found in liver, kidney or adipose tissue of rats with nutritional liver necrosis due to deficiency of vitamin E and selenium. When liver necrosis was induced by giving rats a casein diet and silver acetate soluti...

or ferricyanide were not able to replace ascorbate and induce lipid peroxide formation. 2. The rate of ascorbate-induced peroxidation is optimum at pH 6-0 whereas the rate of the NADPH system is optimum at pH7-0. Both systems require phosphate for maximum activity. 3. Lipid peroxide formation occurs at the maximum specific rate in very dilute microsome suspensions (0-15mg. of protein/ ml.). 4. ...

The present study evaluated the cardiometabolic and redox balance profiles in patients with Metabolic Syndrome compared to apparently healthy individuals, and the participation of the myeloperoxidase/hydrogen peroxide axis in systemic lipid peroxidation. Twenty-four patients with Metabolic Syndrome and eighteen controls underwent a full clinical assessment. Venous blood samples were collected f...

Med., 1974, 112 (3), 271-278 -The hydrogen peroxide (11202)-induced platelet aggregation could be inhibited by vitamin E-nicotinate and less effectively by vitamin E-acetate. The adenosine diphosphate (ADP)-induced platelet aggrega tion could...

Peroxides are often used as models to induce oxidative damage in cells in vitro. The aim of the present study was to elucidate the role of lipid peroxidation in peroxide-induced cell death. To this end (i) the ability to induce lipid peroxidation in C6 rat astroglioma cells of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), cumene hydroperoxide (CHP) and t-butyl hydroperoxide (t-BuOOH) (ii) the relation between pero...
