In the absence of iron, a low rate of ethylene production, which was not sensitive to superoxide dismutase, catalase, or competitive scavengers was observed. Ethylene was produced when KMBA was incubated with perfusates of rat liver or the suspension medium obtained after incubating liver cells for varying periods of time, followed by removal of the liver cells. Boiling the perfusate or suspension medium had no effect on ethylene production. This ethylene production does not appear to reflect an oxygen radical-mediated event. The addition of ferric-EDTA, but not ferric-desferrioxamine, increased ethylene production by the hepatocyte suspensions in a reaction sensitive to inhibition by catalase, ascorbate oxidase, and competitive scavengers, but not superoxide dismutase. The sensitivity to externally added catalase and ascorbate oxidase suggested that the ethylene production reflected an extracellular oxygen radical generating system. Ferric alone and several ferric chelates, for example, ferric-ATP, ADP, AMP, histidine, and citrate stimulated ethylene production using perfusates of liver or suspension medium after removal of the hepatocytes. The sensitivity of the added iron system to ascorbate oxidase suggested that during perfusion or incubation of liver cells, efflux of ascorbate occurs, follwed by reduction of the iron and subsequently, extracellular production of oxygen radicals. Indeed, a strong correlation was observed between rates of ethylene production in the presence of iron and levels of ascorbate in the perfusates. Thus, the use of KMBA plus iron is not suitable to detect intracellular production of hydroxyl radical-like species in cells such as hepatocytes, which leak ascorbate.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":77737,"journal":{"name":"Journal of free radicals in biology & medicine","volume":"1 2","pages":"Pages 155-162"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1985-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0748-5514(85)90020-0","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"14146655","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While this method is quite usefule under some circumstances, more sensitivity was desirable to analyse trace amounts of lipid peroxidation products in small samples of various tissues. We present a method to prepare pentalfluorobenzyl esters of fatty acids and hydroxy fatty acids directly from phospholipids by transesterification at room temperature or from triglycerides at 60%C. Oxidized lipids are extracted into dichloromethane and peroxide functions are reduced with sodium borohydride. Transesterification of phospholipids is carried out in dichloromethane with 20% (v/v) pentafluorobenzyl alcohol, 1% (w/v) potassium tertbutoxide and 0.2 N (m-trifluoromethyl phenyl) trimethyl ammonium hydroxide at room temperature for 30 min. Pentafluorobenzyl esters are purified on open silica columns. O-trimethyl silyl derivatives of the alcohol functions are formed, and GC-MS is carried out with negative ion chemical ionization detection. The single or double oxidation products of oleate, linoleate, arachidonate, and docosahexaenoate were detected with 10 pg sensitivity in oxidized rat retina phospholipids or synthetic phospholipids by negative ion chemical ionization with specific ion monitoring of carboxylate anions.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":77737,"journal":{"name":"Journal of free radicals in biology & medicine","volume":"1 5","pages":"Pages 387-393"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1985-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0748-5514(85)90151-5","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"14955086","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
