Bioactive products of phospholipid oxidation: isolation, identification, measurement and activities.
There is considerable evidence to suggest that oxidation of LDL plays an important role in atherogenesis. Polyunsaturated fatty acids, a major oxidative target, are present as phospholipids in the outer core of the lipoprotein particle. Studies from several laboratories have shown an increase in the levels of phospholipid oxidation products in atherosclerotic lesions and of antibodies to oxidized phospholipids in mice and humans with lesions. Significantly, phospholipid oxidation products have been demonstrated (in vitro) to selectively activate processes in vascular wall cells that may contribute to atherogenesis. This review discusses activities, methods for isolation, identification and measurement of bioactive phospholipids. Past studies suggest that defined and relatively simple current technologies allow identification of bioactive phospholipid oxidation products and measurement of their levels in tissue.
