title: Possible involvement of myeloperoxidase in lipid peroxidation.
abstract: 1. Exposure of liposomes to the MPO-H2O2-Cl- system results in oxidation of lipids. Malondialdehyde and 4-hydroxynonenal are formed. 2. Oxidation of liposomes by stimulated rat neutrophils, assessed by malondialdehyde formation, is inhibited by KCN. This indicates involvement of MPO in the process. 3. The MPO-H2O2 system oxidizes mildly LDL but in the presence of chloride a propagation phase, with a rapid increase of conjugated diene formation, was observed.
