[Preliminary data on the influence of 4-hydroxyalkenals on the phagocytic activity polymorphonuclear leukocytes in the rat].
The effect of low concentrations of 4-hydroxy-2-trans-pentenal, 4-hydroxy-2-trans-nonenal and 4-hydroxy-2-trans-tetradecenal (4-hydroxyalkenals produced during lipid peroxidation) was evaluated on the phagocytic activity of polymorphonuclear cells obtained from rat peritoneum. Our results show that the above compounds can influence, at different degrees, the endocytic powers, as measured "in vitro", of leukocytes through an inhibition that appears, to some extent, dose-related. Since lipoperoxidative processes can take place at the inflammed area, aldehydes originating from the peroxidative derangement of fatty acids may play a role in interfering with the cellular reactions at the inflammatory site.
