title: [Isoprostanes, biomarkers of lipid peroxidation in humans. Part 2: Quantification methods].
abstract: The isoprostanes are a new class of natural products produced in vivo by a non-enzymatic free-radical-induced peroxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids. The quantification of these compounds represents a reliable and useful index of lipid peroxidation and oxidant stress in vivo. Then, a large amount of works has been done in the field of isoprostane analysis, but till now, no standardized method seems to emerge. Indeed, described methodologies differ either in the sample preparation steps or in the detection techniques or both. Extraction and purification procedures are often critical and time-consuming, requiring successive chromatographic steps and these procedures lead to a substantial loose of target compounds. Moreover, two main analytical approaches have been adopted for IsoP measurement: immunological methods or mass spectrometry. Some discussion about the methodology used for measurement of isoprostane is important. This review will aim to present and compare different methods developed nowadays for extraction, purification and analysis of F(2)-iPs in various biological samples.
