    Phosphatidylcholine hydroperoxide levels in human plasma are lower than previously reported

    The quantification of PC hydroperoxide (PCOOH) in human plasma was studied by HPLC with chemiluminescence detection (HPLC-CL). We identified for the first time the monohydroperoxide of 1-palmitoyl-2-linoleoyl-...

    Acute effect of ethanol on 7-hydroperoxycholesterol in muscle and liver

    We tested the hypotheses that ethanol sensitivities of muscle and liver can be discerned in the initial periods of ethanol exposure, especially when acetaldehyde levels are markedly raised with cyanamide, an a...

    Cholesterol-derived hydroperoxides in alcoholic liver disease

    Human liver samples from 33 patients were collected at autopsy (controls’ n=9; fatty liver’ n=12; liver cirrhosis’ n=12)’ and samples homogenized. Lipids extracted with chloroform and methanol were injected into ...

    Chromosomal location and reorganization of the 45S and 5S rDNA in theBrachyscome lineariloba complex (Asteraceae)

    The chromosomal locations of the 45S (18S-5.8S-26S) and 5S ribosomal DNA in theBrachyscome lineariloba complex and two related species have been determined by the use of multicolor fluorescencein situ hybridizati...

    Oxysterols found in opacified cornea of fish

    We describe a new concept implicating oxidized cholesterol derivatives and very long-chain fatty acids as possible factors in the development of corneal opacification after death. Corneal tissues, removed from...
