Journal ArticleDOI

Antioxidant activity of albumin-bound bilirubin.

TL;DR: Results show that 1 mol of Alb-BR can scavenge 2 mol of peroxyl radicals and that small amounts of plasma bilirubin are sufficient to prevent oxidation of albumin-bound fatty acids as well as of the protein itself, indicating a role for Alb- BR as a physiological antioxidant in plasma and the extravascular space.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tocopherol-mediated peroxidation. The prooxidant effect of vitamin E on the radical-initiated oxidation of human low-density lipoprotein

TL;DR: It is shown that α-TocH can be a strong prooxidant for the LDL itself, i.e., an aqueous dispersion of lipid-bearing particles in the form of alkylperoxyl radicals generated from a water-soluble azo initiator induced lipid peroxidation in LDL.
Journal ArticleDOI

Presence of hypochlorite-modified proteins in human atherosclerotic lesions.

TL;DR: Density centrifugation of plaque homogenates and Western blot analysis showed that, in the apo B-containing lipoprotein fraction, the mAb recognized protein(s) of molecular mass greater than apoB, similar to those produced during oxidation of LDL with HOCl in vitro.
Journal ArticleDOI

Clinical Relevance of Biomarkers of Oxidative Stress

TL;DR: It is important to realize that oxidative stress is a nuanced phenomenon that is difficult to characterize, and one biomarker is not necessarily better than others, and the vast diversity in oxidative stress between diseases and conditions has to be taken into account when selecting the most appropriate biomarker.
Journal ArticleDOI

Free and albumin-bound bilirubin are efficient co-antioxidants for alpha-tocopherol, inhibiting plasma and low density lipoprotein lipid peroxidation.

TL;DR: Results show that bilirubin inhibits oxidation of LDL lipids initiated within the lipoprotein core and indicate that this activity is mediated by interaction of the pigment with LDL's alpha-tocopherol.
