Abstract
Chronic impairments of brain caused by accumulation of endogenous formaldehyde as ageing is thought as one of the risk factors for sporadic age-related dementia.Thus,it is necessary to determine the endogenous concentration of formaldehyde in brain.Using 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine(2,4-DNPH) in the assay, the concentrations of formaldehyde in parietal lobe,frontal lobe,temporal lobe,occipital lobe,hippocampus, cerebellum and brainstem of porcine brain(n=5) were measured through UV-HPLC.Homogenizing brain tissues with 10% trichloroacetic acid(pH =1.0) not only avoided the disturbance from contaminated protein and other compounds,but also eliminated the step extraction of FA-DNPH derivative(2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazone) and improve the methodological sensitivity(P 0.05).The porcine brain formaldehyde was 75.5~83.4 μmol/kg fresh brain tissues measured by this improved method.Recoveries of spiked formaldehyde at low and high level were 95.96%~102.04% with relative standard deviations less than 10%.This suggests that the modified 2,4-DNPH method is effective enough to measure the endogenous formaldehyde in brain tissues.
期刊介绍:
Progress in Biochemistry and Biophysics is a monthly, peer-reviewed journal sponsored by Institute of Biophysics, The Chinese Academy of Sciences together with Biophysical Society of China. It started publication in 1974. It mainly reports on the latest developments in biochemistry, biophysics, molecular biology and neuroscience both in China and abroad. It contains several columns such as "reviews and monographs", "rapid and short communications", "research papers", "techniques and methods" and "academic discussions".
