title: Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) analysis on the serum lipids of rabbits infected with Schistosoma japonicum: oxidative modifications of diene system in fatty chains.
abstract: Proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) spectroscopy was used to characterize the oxidized products in the serum lipoprotein lipids (LPL) of rabbits infected with Schistosoma japonicum. The loss of bis-allylic and allylic methylenes proton peaks (2.7 and 2.0 p.p.m.) of unsaturated systems of the LPL and the appearance of the signals of the conjugated diene systems of hydroperoxide (5.43-6.45 p.p.m.) and epidioxide (2.45 p.p.m.) of the fatty chains of the serum demonstrated the lipids degradation associated with the Schistosoma infection.
