Objectives: To characterize low-density lipoprotein (LDL) chemical composition and oxidability in normolipidemic and dyslipidemic patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, as compared with matched control subjects. To evaluate LDL susceptibility to oxidation, we determined the cutoff poi

β¦ Synopsis
The kinetics of tile autoxidation reaction of LDL and HDL with Fe 2 +/ascorbate was investigated. Aldehydes derived from plasrnalogens were determined by conversion to 2-alkyl-l,3-dithiolanes. Their oxidation products, 2-hydroxy-aldehydes, were trapped by reaction with pentafluorobenzylhydroxylamine. After derivatisation, the pentafluorobenzyloximes could be separated from other compounds by thin-layer chromatography. They were detected by gas chromatography applying an electron capture detector. LDL plasmalogens are oxidized nearly completely after 180 min while HDL plasmalogens suffer oxidation only to 5%. Oxidation of linoleic and arachidonic acid was investigated by simultaneous determination of 2-hydroxyheptanal.
