title: Existence of 7 alpha- and 7 beta-hydroperoxycholest-5-en-3 beta-ols in lipoproteins from diabetic patients and normal subjects.
abstract: We report evidence for the presence of 7 alpha- and 7 beta-hydroperoxycholest-5-en-3 beta-ols (cholesterol 7-hydroperoxides, Ch 7 alpha-OOH and Ch 7 beta-OOH, respectively) in human plasma lipoproteins in vivo, which had been reported to be markers of aging in rat skin. A comparative study was carried out focusing on the detection of Ch 7-OOHs in plasma lipoproteins from diabetic patients whose plasma has been suggested to be under high oxidative stress. Blood samples were collected from healthy volunteers (control) and diabetics with and without hypercholesterolemia. Ch 7-OOHs were isolated from low and high density lipoproteins (LDL and HDL, respectively) in the plasma of these subjects, identified, and determined by high-performance liquid chromatography with a chemiluminescence detector. The percent detection of Ch 7-OOHs in LDL from diabetics without hypercholesterolemia was similar to that in the control group. However, it was significantly higher in diabetics with hypercholesterolemia than in those without hypercholesterolemia. The percent detection of Ch 7-OOHs in HDL from diabetics without hypercholesterolemia was higher than both that in LDL from the same group and that in HDL from the control group.
