Abstract
The uptake of oxidized LDL by macrophages is a key event in the development of atherosclerosis. The scavenger receptor CD36 is one major receptor that internalizes oxidized LDL. In differentiated human macrophages, we compared the regulation of CD36 expression by copper-oxidized LDL or their products. Only oxidized derivatives of cholesteryl ester (CEOOH) increased the amount of CD36 mRNA (2.5-fold). Both oxidized LDL and CEOOH treatment increased two to fourfold the transcription of promoters containing peroxisome-proliferator-activated-receptor responsive elements (PPRE) in the presence of PPARalpha or gamma. Electrophoretic-mobility-shift-assays with nuclear extracts prepared from macrophages treated by either oxidized LDL or CEOOH showed increased binding of PPARalpha to the CD36 gene promoter PPRE. In conclusion, CEOOH present in oxidized LDL increase CD36 gene expression in a pathway involving PPARalpha.

Abstract
Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), namely hydroxyl (*OH) and superoxide (O2*-) free radicals and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), are involved in all oxidative stress phenomena. These latter occur in numerous pathological disorders such as, for example, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes or neurodegenerative diseases. Knowledge of thermodynamic (reduction potentials) and kinetic (rate constants) properties of ROS allows to draw up a rigorous overview of the chemical reactivity of these species. Hydroxyl free radicals (*OH) are powerful oxidants (very toxic species) which attack all the biomolecular targets (DNA, proteins, lipids...), giving other free radicals localized on the targets. Superoxide free radicals (O2*-) have a more graduated reactivity, since they don't directly react with biological molecules. However, some toxicity would be attributed to them via secondary radicular reactions. Other free radicals (of peroxyl RO2* and alkoxyl RO* types), belonging also to the ROS family, contribute by enhancement to oxidative stress.

Abstract
This study aimed at investigating the in vitro protective effects of GWC22, a novel pinoline derivative [6-ethyl-1-(3-methoxyphenyl)-2-propyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-beta-carboline] chlorhydrate, against radiation-induced oxidation of linoleate initiated by hydroxyl radicals ((*)OH). Using linoleate micelles (10(-2) m) as lipid model, two indexes of peroxidation have been measured, i.e. conjugated dienes and hydroperoxides. Similar determinations were performed with melatonin in order to compare the protective effects of the two compounds. It was observed that, the higher the concentration of GWC22 (or melatonin) (3 x 10(-5) to 10(-4) m), the stronger the antioxidant ability. In these in vitro assays, GWC22 showed a better antioxidant effect than melatonin for a given antioxidant concentration. A reaction scheme has been proposed to explain the inhibitory effect of an antioxidant via the propagating steps of the lipid peroxidation. Indeed, we have suggested that melatonin and GWC22 may compete with the fatty acid to scavenge lipid peroxyl radicals (LOO(*)). We have estimated a lower limit for the LOO(*) rate constant for GWC22 (>/=1.4 x 10(5)/m/s) and for melatonin (>/=2.8 x 10(4)/m/s) assuming that the k-value of the propagating step in linoleate (LOO(*) + linoleate) was 1.4 x 10(3)/m/s. The difference of reactivity between melatonin and GWC22 in this model system is assumed to be related to their relative lipophilicity.

Abstract
Metformin (1,1-dimethylbiguanide) is an antihyperglycaemic drug used to normalize glucose concentrations in type 2 diabetes. Furthermore, antioxidant benefits have been reported in diabetic patients treated with metformin. This work was aimed at studying the scavenging capacity of this drug against reactive oxygen species (ROS) like *OH and (O2*-)-free radicals. ROS were produced by gamma radiolysis of water. The irradiated solutions of metformin were analyzed by UV/visible absorption spectrophotometry. It has been shown that hydroxyl free radicals react with metformin in a concentration-dependent way. The maximum scavenging activity was obtained for concentrations of metformin > or = 200 micromol.L(-1), under our experimental conditions. An estimated value of 10(7) L.mol(-1).s(-1) has been determined for the second order rate constant k(*OH + metformin). Superoxide free radicals and hydrogen peroxide do not initiate any oxidation on metformin in our in vitro experiments.

Abstract
Metformin is an antihyperglycemic drug that exhibits some antioxidant properties. HO*-induced oxidation of metformin was studied in aqueous solution, in both aerated and deaerated conditions. Gamma radiolysis of water was used to generate HO* free radicals, capable of initiating one-electron oxidation of metformin. Oxidation end-products were identified by direct infusion mass spectrometry (MS) and high-performance liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (HPLC/MSn): for every product, structure elucidation was based on its mass (simple mass spectra confirmed by HPLC/MS). In addition, fragmentation spectra (MS2, MS3 and MS4) and the determination of deuterium-hydrogen exchange sites provided valuable information allowing the complete identification of some of the end-products. At low radiation dose, four products were identified as primary ones, since they result from the direct attack of HO* radicals on metformin. These primary oxidation end-products were identified respectively as hydroperoxide of metformin, covalent dimer of metformin, methylbiguanide and 2-amino-4-imino-5-methyl-1,3,5-triazine. At high radiation dose, seven other products were identified as secondary ones, resulting from the HO*-induced oxidation of the primary end-products. A reaction scheme was postulated for the interpretation of the results.

Abstract
This study was designed to evaluate the effect of high concentrations of melatonin on the peroxidation of human low density lipoproteins (LDLs) initiated by O(2)(*-) and ethanol-derived peroxyl radicals (RO(2)(*)) from water gamma radiolysis in the presence of ethanol. LDL (3 g/l; total LDL concentration) was oxidized in the absence of melatonin or in its presence at three concentrations (50 x 10(-6), 100 x 10(-6) or 250 x 10(-6) mol/l) in ethanol. Radiolytic yields (i.e. number of mole consumed or produced per Joule) of the markers of lipid peroxidation were determined (i.e. decrease in the endogenous antioxidants alpha-tocopherol and beta-carotene, formation of conjugated dienes and of thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances [TBARS]). Melatonin decreased the yields of lipid peroxidation products and delayed the onset of the propagation phase for conjugated dienes and TBARS in a concentration-dependent manner. Nevertheless, melatonin did not protect endogenous alpha-tocopherol against peroxyl-induced oxidation (probably due to a lower scavenging capacity than that of alpha-tocopherol towards peroxyl radicals), but delayed the consumption of LDL endogenous beta-carotene and decreased its rate of disappearance. The effect of melatonin seemed to be the highest for a melatonin concentration of 250 x 10(-6) mol/l.

Abstract
The present study was aimed at determining the peroxidation of model membranes constituted of liposomes of 1-palmitoyl-2-linoleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (PLPC) submitted to hydroxyl free radicals (generated by γ-radiolysis) attack. Liposomes of PLPC were prepared using the sonication technique, and dynamic light-scattering (DLS) measurements allowed characterization of the liposomal dispersions. Irradiation damages in sonication-generated liposomes were assessed by monitoring several oxidation products, such as conjugated dienes (by means of UV–visible spectrophotometry) and hydroperoxides (using reverse phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) associated with chemiluminescence detection). It has been shown that three different families of hydroperoxides are formed: the first one (at low radiation doses) results from HO· attack on the linoleyl chain of PLPC, giving phosphatidylcholine hydroperoxides possessing a conjugated dienic structure; the two others (at high radiation doses) are obtained by the secondary HO· attack on the primary hydroperoxide family. The quantification of these products associated with the comparison of their radiation-dose-dependent formation has provided valuable information concerning the mechanisms of their formation. Analysis by HPLC – mass spectrometry has confirmed the presence of hydroperoxides and underlined various other products, like chain-shortened fragments and oxygenated derivatives of polyunsaturated sn-2 fatty acyl chain residues. Structural assignment proposals of some oxidation products have been proposed.Key words: radiolysis, phospholipids, peroxidation, hydroperoxides, liposomes.

Abstract
Oxidative modification of low-density lipoproteins (LDLs) is an important feature in the initiation and progression of atherosclerosis. Aminoguanidine (AMG), classically described as an inhibitor of advanced glycation end products, turned out to be also efficient in animal models as an antioxidant against lipid peroxidation. The originality of the present study was based on the simultaneous assessment of the oxidation of LDL lipid and protein moieties in order to characterize the molecular sites of AMG protection. Oxidation of the LDL lipid moiety was monitored by measuring conjugated dienes (CD) and hydroperoxide molecular species from cholesteryl esters (CEOOH) and phosphatidylcholines (PCOOH). LDL protein oxidative modifications were assessed by evaluating apoB carbonylation and fragmentation. The LDL oxidation was mediated by water gamma radiolysis, which has the advantage of being quantitative and highly selective with regard to the free radicals produced. Here, we reported that AMG resulted in a protection of LDLs against lipid peroxidation (both in the lag phase and in the propagation phase) and against apoB fragmentation in a concentration-dependent manner, due to the scavenging effect of AMG toward lipid peroxyl radicals. Paradoxically, AMG was poorly efficient against apoB carbonylation that began during the lag phase. We hypothesize that, even in the presence of AMG, a nonnegligible proportion of (*)OH radicals remained able to initiate oxidation of the LDL protein moiety, leading to apoB carbonylation.

Abstract
Metformin (dimethylbiguanide) is an antihyperglycemic agent used in type 2 diabetes. Beyond its action on glycemic control, metformin exhibits other intrinsic effects that could play a role in prevention against diabetes complications. Some studies thus reported an improvement in the antioxidant status in patients treated with metformin. This might be in part related to its property to limit formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) and to decrease the overproduction of free radicals in diabetic subjects. The aim of this study was to investigate the in vitro ability of metformin to modulate the action of reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated either by water gamma radiolysis or by stimulated human leukocytes. Our results showed that metformin at pharmacologically relevant concentrations was in vitro able to scavenge hydroxyl ((.)OH) but not superoxide (O(.-)(2)) free radicals and that hydrogen peroxide did not react with metformin. Nevertheless, when polymorphonuclear cells (PMN) are stimulated by phorbol myristate acetate (PMA), or above all by formyl methionine leucyl phenylalanine (fMLP), a systematic (although nonsignificant) decrease of the ROS-induced chimiluminescence (CL) was observed. These results suggest that metformin could directly scavenge ROS or indirectly act by modulating the intracellular production of superoxide anion, of which NADPH oxidase constitutes the major source. This could contribute to the additional benefits of metformin, especially those related to the improvement in the cardiovascular outcomes in diabetes.

Abstract
This study was designed to evaluate the protective effect of two melatonin related compounds towards low density lipoproteins (LDL) oxidation initiated in vitro either by defined free radicals [i.e. superoxide anion (O2*-) and ethanol-derived peroxyl radicals (RO(2)(*))] produced by gamma radiolysis or by copper ions. The compounds studied were N-[2-(5-methoxy-1H-indol-3-yl)ethyl]-3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxybenzamide (DTBHB) and (R,S)-1-(3-methoxyphenyl)-2-propyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-beta-carboline (GWC20) which is a pinoline derivative. Their effects were compared with those of melatonin at the same concentration (100 micromol/L). None of the three tested compounds protected endogenous LDL alpha-tocopherol from oxidation by RO(2)(*)/O(2)(*)- free radicals. By contrast, they all protected beta-carotene from the attack of these free radicals with GWC20 being the strongest protector. Moreover, melatonin and DTBHB partially inhibited the formation of products derived from lipid peroxidation (conjugated dienes and thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances or TBARS) while GWC20 totally abolished this production. As previously shown, melatonin (at the concentration used) inhibited copper-induced LDL oxidation by increasing 1.60-fold the lag phase duration of conjugated diene formation over the 8 hr of the experimental procedure, however, DTBHB and GWC20 were much more effective, because they totally prevented the initiation of the propagation phase of LDL oxidation. It would be interesting to test in vivo if DTBHB and GWC20 which exhibit a strong capacity to inhibit in vitro LDL oxidation would reduce or not atherosclerosis in animals susceptible to this pathology.

Abstract
The aim of our study was to evaluate the carbonylation and the carbonylated fragmentation of apolipoprotein B upon low-density lipoprotein (LDL) oxidation induced in vitro by copper and *OH/O*(2)(-) free radicals generated by gamma-radiolysis. Therefore, we developed a very sensitive Western blot immunoassay using 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine which allows the revelation of the apolipoprotein B carbonylation and its carbonylated fragmentation. The main results of this study show that (i) apolipoprotein B carbonylation is present during the lag phase of LDL oxidation in the two oxidative processes and (ii) apolipoprotein B carbonylated fragmentation was not detected during the lag phase of copper-oxidized LDL but was detected during the propagation phase. By contrast, apolipoprotein B carbonylated fragmentation was detected in the lag phase of *OH/O*(2)(-) oxidized LDL.

Abstract
Tamoxifen is the most widely used antiestrogen in the treatment of breast cancer. In this work, we have studied its antioxidant properties. We have investigated the ability of tamoxifen to scavenge, in vitro, ·OH and (or) HO·2 free radicals that are produced by water radiolysis. Aqueous solutions of tamoxifen of concentrations ranging between 10-5 and 2.5 × 10-5 M have been irradiated (γ 137Cs) in aerated acidic medium (H3PO4 10-3 M or HCOOH 10-1 M). The results show that tamoxifen reacts quantitatively with ·OH free radicals but does not react with HO·2 free radicals under our experimental conditions.Key words: tamoxifen, antioxidant, oxygenated free radicals, radiolysis.

The results obtained after reverse phase chromatography, associated with a microperoxydase for hydroperoxide detection, indicate the presence of two different hydroperoxides. One type of hydroperoxide was the major product obtained when the initial linoleic concentrations were below the critical micellar concentration (2 mM), and the second type was produced when the concentrations were above 2 mM. A further separation carried out on the second hydroperoxide by direct phase HPLC showed that it contains three compounds, mainly HPODE 9 and 13.Key words: linoleic acid, peroxidation, hydroperoxide, direct phase HPLC, reverse phase HPLC.

Abstract
This study was designed to evaluate the effect of ethanol on the peroxidation of human low-density lipoprotein (LDL) initiated by oxygen free radicals (O(2)(.-) and (.)OH in the absence of ethanol; O(2)(.-) and ethanol-derived peroxyl radicals, RO(2)(.), in the presence of ethanol) generated by gamma radiolysis. Initial radiolytic yields as determined by several markers of lipid peroxidation [i.e. decrease in endogenous antioxidants alpha-tocopherol and beta-carotene, formation of conjugated dienes and of thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS)] were determined in 3 g liter(-1) LDLs (expressed as total LDL concentration) in the absence of ethanol or its presence at six different concentrations (0.42-17 x 10(-2) mol liter(-1)). Ethanol acted as an antioxidant by decreasing the rate of consumption of LDL endogenous antioxidants and the yields of formation of lipid peroxidation products, and by delaying the onset of the propagation phase for conjugated dienes and TBARS. With regard to the different markers studied, except for alpha-tocopherol and beta-carotene consumption, the effect of ethanol did not appear to be dependent on its concentration. Indeed, (.)OH were scavenged by ethanol at the lowest ethanol concentration (0.42 x 10(-2) mol liter(-1)), leading to RO(2)(.). These RO(2)(.) resulted in lower radiation-induced yields related to endogenous antioxidant consumption or to formation of lipid peroxidation products (for example, approximately 10% of RO(2)(.) oxidized LDLs from TBARS). Thus, under our in vitro conditions, ethanol behaved as an antioxidant when added to the LDL solutions. This should be taken into account in the reported antioxidant activity of wine. This is also of interest when lipophilic compounds have to be added as ethanolic solutions to LDLs to evaluate in vitro their antioxidant activity toward LDL peroxidation.

Abstract
The radiolysis of water with heavy ions of high linear energy transfer (LET) (-dE/dx) is characterized, in deaerated medium, by the production of superoxide anions, the radiolytic yields of which increase with the LET. Radiobiological interest in such radical species comes from the oxidative stress which may be generated by their dismutation in O2 and H2O2 in anoxic medium (radiotherapy with heavy ions). A brief review of the measurements of superoxide free radicals in aqueous solution by indirect or direct methods is presented. Moreover, some experimental results obtained by pulse radiolysis with Ar18+ ions (TEL = 290 keV x microm(-1)), are described. The interpretation of the kinetics takes into account the superoxide absorbance and that of hydrogen peroxide, which is present at the millisecond time scale.

Abstract
The radiolysis of water with heavy ions of high linear energy transfer (LET) (-dE/dx) is characterized, in deaerated medium, by the production of superoxide anions, the radiolytic yields of which increase with the LET. Radiobiological interest in such radical species comes from the oxidative stress which may be generated by their dismutation in O2 and H2O2 in anoxic medium (radiotherapy with heavy ions). A brief review of the measurements of superoxide free radicals in aqueous solution by indirect or direct methods is presented. Moreover, some experimental results obtained by pulse radiolysis with Ar18+ ions (TEL = 290 keV·µm-1), are described. The interpretation of the kinetics takes into account the superoxide absorbance and that of hydrogen peroxide, which is present at the millisecond time scale.Key words: pulse radiolysis, heavy ions, superoxide radicals, high LET, kinetics.[Traduit par la Rédaction]

Abstract
This study was designed to evaluate the antioxidant effect of aminoguanidine toward human low-density lipoproteins (LDLs) initiated by oxygenated free radicals (*OH/O(2)*-) generated by gamma radiolysis. Initial radiolytic yields related to the markers of lipid peroxidation [i.e. decrease in endogenous alpha-tocopherol and beta-carotene, formation of thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS) and conjugated dienes] were determined in 3 g liter(-1) LDLs (expressed as total LDL concentration) in the absence and presence of 10 different concentrations of aminoguanidine (from 0.04 to 5 mmol liter(-1)). Fluorescence and relative electrophoretic mobility of oxidized LDLs were also studied as markers that indirectly reflect the attack of the protein moiety of LDLs (namely apolipoprotein B). Our data clearly showed the inhibitory effect of aminoguanidine on lipid peroxidation induced in LDLs by *OH/O(2)*- in a concentration-dependent manner. This effect probably resulted from a scavenging activity of aminoguanidine toward *OH. In contrast, aminoguanidine did not appear to react significantly with O(2)*-, which resulted in a poor residual lipid peroxidation. Our data led us to determine an optimum [aminoguanidine]/[LDL] ratio ranging from 250 to 500 to obtain the best in vitro protection of LDLs under our experimental conditions. It is also of great interest that aminoguanidine was able to protect endogenous alpha-tocopherol and beta-carotene of LDLs upon *OH/O(2)*(-)-induced oxidation.

Abstract
Peroxidation of unconjugated polyunsaturated fatty acids such as linolenic acid proceeds through a free radical chain mechanism and is accompanied by the formation of conjugated dienes such as hydroperoxides. In an investigation of radiation-induced oxidation of aqueous linolenate, we have measured two indexes of peroxidation: (1) conjugated dienes by means of absorption spectroscopy and (2) hydroperoxides by high-pressure liquid chromatography using detection of chemiluminescence. The experimental results indicate a strong effect of the concentration of linolenate on the yields of oxidized products. In addition, this work shows the quantitative production of two kinds of hydroperoxides. The ratio of these hydroperoxides is independent of the radiation dose but is dependent on the linolenate concentration. One hydroperoxide is formed predominantly below the critical micellar concentration (3 mM under our conditions), while the second is observed predominantly when micelles are formed in the aqueous medium. The influence of the composition of the medium on the nature of both hydroperoxides is discussed. [bj163]

Abstract
The aim of our study was to determine the oxysterol formation in low density lipoproteins (LDLs) oxidized by defined oxygen free radicals (*OH/O2*-). This was compared to the oxysterol produced upon the classical copper oxidation procedure. The results showed a markedly lower formation of oxysterols induced by *OH/O2*- free radicals than by copper and thus suggested a poor ability of these radicals to initiate cholesterol oxidation in LDLs. Moreover, the molecular species of cholesteryl ester hydroperoxides produced by LDL copper oxidation seemed more labile than those formed upon *OH/O2*(-)-induced oxidation, probably due to their degradation by reaction with copper ions.
