title: Gas chromatographic analysis of malonaldehyde and 4-hydroxy-2-(E)-nonenal produced from arachidonic acid and linoleic acid in a lipid peroxidation model system.
abstract: Malonaldehyde (MA) and 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HN) formed upon oxidation with Fe2+/H2O2 from arachidonic acid and linoleic acid, and their ethyl esters were analyzed by gas chromatography (GC). The MA and 4-HN produced were reacted with N-methylhydrazine (NMH) to give 1-methylpyrazole and 5(1'-hydroxyhexyl)-1-methyl-2-pyrazoline, respectively. The derivatives were analyzed by GC on a fused silica capillary column using a nitrogen-phosphorus detector. With arachidonic acid, more MA and 4-HN were formed from the ester (88 nmol/mg and 23 nmol/mg, respectively) than from the free acid (25 nmol/mg and 9 nmol/mg, respectively). In contrast, with linoleic acid, more MA and 4-HN were produced from the free acid (53 nmol/mg and 13 nmol/mg, respectively) than from the ester (39 nm/mg and 8 nmol/mg, respectively).
