Abstract
The objective of the present study was to verify if immunosuppression caused by cocaine (CO) can be mediated, at least in part, by increased formation of oxidative metabolites and reactive oxygen species (ROS) in rat. Pharmacokinetics of cocaine and its metabolites, cell-mediated immune function and cytokines production, biomarkers of cell redox state maintenance and lipidic peroxidation, and variations of activity in the enzymatic systems involved in cell antioxidant defence were measured in spleen of Wistar rats acutely and chronically treated with cocaine.C(max), AUC, and t(1/2) of norcocaine (NC) significantly increased after chronic exposure to cocaine while kinetic parameters of benzoylecgonine (BE) significantly decreased. A decrease in cultured T-lymphocytes proliferation and natural killer (NK) cell activity, a high increase of immunosuppressive cytokines and a switch from Th1-type cytokines to Th2-type cytokines together with an unbalance toward anti-inflammatory cytokines recovered within 4 h after acute treatment while subsisted for 14 days after chronic treatment. A significant increase in ascorbic acid (AA), reduced glutathione and glutathione reductase (GR) with a simultaneous decrease in oxidized glutathione were observed in the first hours after acute administration. Conversely, the increase in oxidized glutathione and malondialdehyde (MDA) production and the simultaneous depletion of reduced glutathione and ascorbic acid persisted at least 24 h after chronic cocaine treatment as well as the increase in the activities of glutathione reductase, glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and superoxide dismutase (SOD). The results suggest that chronic cocaine administration affects cellular enzyme and non-enzyme-mediated antioxidant defence systems and promotes immunotoxicity in rat. Cocaine N-oxidative metabolism may be an indirect contributor, via oxidative stress.

Abstract
A selected ion flow tube-chemical ionization mass spectrometric method is presented for the first determination of acrolein metabolically produced in biological tissues. Acrolein in aqueous samples (2.5 ml) is preconcentrated by distillation and directly analyzed using gas-phase proton transfer from H3O+. This method provides sensitive detection of acrolein with the method detection limit of 15 nM at the 99% confidence level. Detection is linear up to the highest concentration studied (13.5 microM, R2 = 0.998). Acrolein levels are determined in doxorubicin-sensitive (MCF-7) and doxorubicin-resistant (MCF-7/Adr) human breast cancer cells in vitro. The intracellular acrolein concentrations differ insignificantly: 0.61 microM for sensitive cells and 0.54 microM for resistant cells. Treatment with a physiological concentration of doxorubicin (0.5 microM) for 24 h at 37 degrees C increased acrolein levels by factors of 2.6 and 1.9 for MCF-7 and MCF-7/Adr cells, respectively. The differential enhancement observed is consistent with the lower levels of enzymes that neutralize oxidative stress in sensitive MCF-7 cells and overexpression of an active drug efflux pump P-170 glycoprotein in resistant MCF-7/Adr cells.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Cardiovascular disease is the major cause of mortality in patients receiving hemodialysis (HD) and continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) due to chronic renal failure. Increased lipid peroxidation and depletion of antioxidants may contribute to increased risk of atherosclerosis. We have therefore assessed the effect of hemodialysis and CAPD on oxidant and antioxidant status. DESIGN AND METHODS Plasma malondialdehyde (MDA), Glutathione (GSH) levels and glutathione peroxidase (Gpx) activities were determined in 20 healthy persons (control), 20 patients on HD, 16 patients on CAPD. RESULTS MDA was elevated in posthemodialysis and CAPD patients in comparison to prehemodialysis and control groups (posthemodialysis 1.39 +/- 0.38 nmol/mL, CAPD 1.26 +/- 0.27 nmol/mL, prehemodilaysis 0.83 +/- 0.22 nmol/mL, controls 0.72 +/- 0.21 nmol/mL p < 0.0001). With respect to antioxidants, glutathione levels were significantly lower in prehemodialysis, posthemodialysis and CAPD groups than those in control group (prehemodialysis 16.82 +/- 6.73 mg/dL RBC, posthemodialysis 31.43 +/- 11.88 mg/dL RBC, CAPD 40 +/- 12.72 mg/dL RBC, controls 62.26 +/- 24.01 mg/dL RBC, p < 0.0001). While erythrocyte GSH levels were significantly lower in the prehemodialysis patients than those in posthemodialysis and CAPD patients (p < 0.0001), it was significantly lower in posthemodialysis patients than those in CAPD patients (p < 0.05). There were no significant differences with respect to erythrocyte Gpx levels among the groups (p > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS These findings indicate oxidative stress in patients with chronic renal failure which is further exacerbated by hemodialysis and CAPD, as evidenced by increased lipid peroxidation and low antioxidant levels.

Abstract
Ischemia-reperfusion syndrome is a condition where the role of oxygen free radicals is important. Malondialdehyde (MDA) and formaldehyde (FA), products of lipid peroxidation, are the presumptive markers for the development of oxidative stress in tissues and plasmas. A GC-MS method for the determination of MDA and FA in rat brain extract is described. Rat brains were homogenized with deionized water. The homogenates were derivatized with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazone (DNPH) to obtain hydrazines derivatives of MDA and FA. The hydrazine derivatives were analyzed by GC-MS and quantitation was by single ion monitoring (SIM). The retention times of FA and MDA were, respectively, 13.75 and 14.20 min, and for SIM quantitation, ion at m/z 210 for FA, and m/z 158 for MDA were used. The results showed that it is possible to estimate the products of lipid peroxidation in brain and to monitor the oxidative stress developed during the ischemia-reperfusion syndrome compared to the normal values.

Abstract
The systemic toxicity of gasohol (10% ethanol in gasoline by volume) in female rats following 4-week oral administration was studied. Female Sprague-Dawley rats (198+/-14 g) were divided into four groups of ten animals each. The low- and medium-dose groups received by gavage corn oil containing gasoline/ethanol at 16/1.8 and 160/18 (mg kg(-1) body weight), respectively, for 28 consecutive days. The high-dose animals were administered gasoline/ethanol at 1600/180 mg kg(-1) on the first day and the dose was reduced to 800/90 mg kg(-1) for the rest of the study period. Control animals received corn oil only. Urine was obtained from all rats after weeks 1, 2 and 4 for biochemical analysis. At termination of the study, kidneys of four rats from each group were examined by electron microscopy. Body weight gains, organ weights, tissue and organ histopathology, serum biochemistry, hematology, liver enzymes and biochemistry were determined in the remaining six animals of each group. No treatment-related changes were observed in the following endpoints: body weight gain or relative weights of the brain, lungs, liver, kidneys, spleen and thymus. A significant increase in pentoxyresorufin O-deethylase (PROD) and benzoylresorufin O-dealkylase (BROD) activities was detected in the high-dose animals, whereas ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase (EROD) activity was unchanged. Treatment with gasohol did not produce any significant changes in hematology and serum clinical chemistry parameters. Biomarkers of oxidative stress such as serum and liver thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) and liver glutathione also were unaffected by treatments. Urinary ascorbic acid was elevated markedly in the medium- and high-dose groups following the first, second and fourth weeks of treatment. Urine hippuric acid was increased significantly in the high-dose groups. A dose-related increase in urinary aldehydes also was observed in animals after the first, second and fourth week of treatment. Interestingly, a separate 1-week dosing study revealed that the increase in urinary aldehydes was associated with gasoline and not with ethanol treatment. In the high-dose animals slight increases in urinary protein and N-acetylglucosaminidase activity were observed after week 1 but not after week 2 or week 4. No histopathological changes were detected in the liver, kidneys, stomach, brain, lungs or other tissues examined. Electron microscopic examination of the kidneys also did not reveal any abnormalities. It was concluded that short-term oral administration of gasoline/ethanol at 800/90 mg kg(-1) produced a biochemical response in the liver but no adverse effects in the kidneys and lungs. The biological significance of elevated urinary aldehydes at gasoline/ethanol concentrations of 160/18 mg kg(-1) and higher remains to be studied.

Abstract
Several analytical methods were compared to quantify malondialdehyde (MDA) in milk powders. Modified thiobarbituric acid (TBA) methods, using either visible spectrophotometry (direct absorbance reading or after third derivative transformation of the spectrum) or HPLC, required derivatisation at elevated temperature, which appeared to catalyse artefactual MDA formation and thus overestimate the MDA content. In contrast to the TBA derivatisation method, the measurement of MDA as the dinitrophenylhydrazone derivative by HPLC or as the phenylhydrazone product by GC-MS with a deuterated internal standard resulted in lower estimates in the ranges of 2-17- and 3-30-fold, respectively; apparently due to the milder derivatisation conditions. The estimates of MDA determined by both HPLC-UV and GC-MS techniques result in lower values which are similar in magnitude even though the GC-MS technique is more sensitive.

Abstract
A rapid and highly sensitive method for the detection of formaldehyde utilizing selected ion flow tube-chemical ionization mass spectrometry is reported. Formaldehyde in aqueous biological samples is preconcentrated by distillation and directly analyzed using gas-phase thermal energy proton transfer from H30+; this procedure can be performed in 30 min. The method detection limit for formaldehyde based on seven replicate measurements of reference water samples (2.5 mL) is 80 nM at the 99% confidence level. Detection is linear up to 130 microM. This technique allows the first measurement of natural formaldehyde levels in human cancer cells in vitro. Elevated levels of formaldehyde relative to the reference water are observed for doxorubicin-sensitive cells (MCF-7 breast cancer, K562 leukemia, HeLa S3 cervical cancer) with estimated intracellular formaldehyde concentrations ranging from 1.5 to 4.0 microM, whereas formaldehyde in doxorubicin-resistant MCF-7/Adr breast cancer cells is essentially at reference level. This trend is inverted for prostate cancer cells LNCaP (sensitive) and DU-145 (resistant). Correlation of natural formaldehyde level with doxorubicin cytotoxicity is a function of the expression of enzymes that neutralize oxidative stress and the drug efflux pump, P-170 glycoprotein.

Abstract
Age-related changes in the urinary excretion of aldehydes arising from lipid peroxidation have been investigated in male Sprague-Dawley rats aged 2, 4, 6, 12, 18, 24 and 27 months, fed ad libitum or subjected to two different regimens of calorie restriction (namely every-other-day ad libitum feeding--EOD--and 40% calorie restriction--40%DR). For only some age groups, results were compared with those obtained in ad libitum fed male Fisher 344 and Lewis rats. Results show that the urinary excretion of malondialdehyde (MDA) and formaldehyde (FA) significantly decreases, whereas that of propionaldehyde (PROP) progressively increases with age, and that urinary excretion of acetaldehyde (ACT) does not show any significant age-related variations. Dietary restriction significantly increases the urinary levels of MDA, FA and PROP without affecting their age-related modifications, and does not affect ACT urinary excretion. In conclusion, results indicate that the quantitative pattern of aldehyde production and urinary excretion may be altered by the process of aging.

Abstract
It has been postulated that tumor suppressor genes are involved in the cascade of events leading to the toxicity of diverse xenobiotics. Therefore, we have assessed the comparative effects of 0.01, 0.10, and 0.50 median lethal doses (LD(50)) of 2,3,7, 8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD), endrin, naphthalene, and sodium dichromate (VI) [Cr(VI)] on lipid peroxidation, DNA fragmentation, and enhanced production of superoxide anion (cytochrome c reduction) in liver and brain tissues of p53-deficient and standard C57BL/6NTac mice to determine the role of p53 gene in the toxic manifestations produced by these diverse xenobiotics. In general, p53-deficient mice are more susceptible to all four xenobiotics than C57BL/6NTac mice, with dose-dependent effects being observed. Specifically, at a 0.50 LD(50) dose, naphthalene and Cr(VI) induced the greatest toxicity in the liver tissue of mice, and naphthalene and endrin exhibited the greatest effect in the brain tissue. At this dose, TCDD, endrin, naphthalene, and Cr(VI) induced 2.3- to 3.7-fold higher increases in hepatic lipid peroxidation and 1.8- to 3.0-fold higher increases in brain lipid peroxidation in p53-deficient mice than in C57BL/6NTac mice. At a 0. 10 LD(50) dose, TCDD, endrin, naphthalene, and Cr(VI) induced 1.3- to 1.8-fold higher increases in hepatic lipid peroxidation and 1.4- to 1.9-fold higher increases in brain lipid peroxidation in p53-deficient mice than in C57BL/6NTac mice. Similar results were observed with respect to DNA fragmentation and cytochrome c reduction (superoxide anion production). For example, at the 0.10 LD(50) dose, the four xenobiotics induced increases of 1.6- to 3. 0-fold and 1.5- to 2.1-fold in brain and liver DNA fragmentation, respectively, and increases of 1.5- to 2.3-fold and 1.4- to 2.5-fold in brain and liver cytochrome c reduction (superoxide anion production), respectively, in p53-deficient mice compared with control C57BL/6NTac mice. These results suggest that the p53 tumor suppressor gene may play a role in the toxicity of structurally diverse xenobiotics.

Abstract
Glutathione-dependent formaldehyde dehydrogenase (FALDH) is the main enzymatic system for formaldehyde detoxification in all eukaryotic and many prokaryotic organisms. The enzyme of yeasts and some bacteria exhibits about 10-fold higher k(cat) and K(m) values than those of the enzyme from animals and plants. Typically Thr-269 and Glu-267 are found in the coenzyme-binding site of yeast FALDH, but Ile-269 and Asp-267 are present in the FALDH of animals. By site-directed mutagenesis we have prepared the T269I and the D267E mutants and the D267E/T269I double mutant of Saccharomyces cerevisiae FALDH with the aim of investigating the role of these residues in the kinetics. The T269I and the D267E mutants have identical kinetic properties as compared with the wild-type enzyme, although T269I is highly unstable. In contrast, the D267E/T269I double mutant is stable and shows low K(m) (2.5 microM) and low k(cat) (285 min(-1)) values with S-hydroxymethylglutathione, similar to those of the human enzyme. Therefore, the simultaneous exchange at both residues is the structural basis of the two distinct FALDH kinetic types. The local structural perturbations imposed by the substitutions are suggested by molecular modeling studies. Finally, we have studied the effect of FALDH deletion and overexpression on the growth of S. cerevisiae. It is concluded that the FALDH gene is not essential but enhances the resistance against formaldehyde (0.3-1 mM). Moreover, the wild-type enzyme (with high k(cat) and K(m)) provides more resistance than the double mutant (with low k(cat) and K(m)).

Abstract
Oxidative stress results from a disruption of the prooxidant/antioxidant cellular balance and monitoring free radical status becomes an interesting challenge in animal and human nutrition. In the present work, merits and limitations of different analytical techniques (HPLC, GC-MS, fluorometric and colourometric assays, ELISA, gel electrophoresis) for the measurement of radical mediated alterations in the cellular integrity of lipids (malondialdehyde, hydrocarbon gases, F2-isoprostanes) proteins (protein carbonyls, 3-nitrotyrosine) and DNA (8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine) are discussed. Besides these indirect methods, owing to the fact that free radicals are paramagnetic, electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy combined with spin trapping has become a valuable tool to directly assess and to better understand the mechanisms of free radical reactions. With this approach a radical that is too short-lived to be detected, adds to a spin-trapping agent to form a relatively long-lived radical adduct. Information obtained from the hyperfine splitting of the spin-trapped adduct can provide identification and quantification of the originally generated free radicals.

Abstract
Free radical damage is an important factor in many pathological and toxicological processes. Despite extensive research efforts in biomarkers in recent years, yielding promising results in experimental animals, there is still a great need for additional research on the applicability of, especially non-invasive, biomarkers of free radical damage in humans. This review gives an overview of the applications in experimental and human situations of four main groups of products resulting from free radical damage, these include: lipid peroxidation products, isoprostanes, DNA-hydroxylation products and protein hydroxylation products.

Abstract
Semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase (SSAO)-mediated deamination of methylamine and aminoacetone in vitro produces carbonyl compounds, such as formaldehyde and methylglyoxal, which have been proposed to be cytotoxic and may be responsible for some pathological conditions. An HPLC procedure was developed to assess different aldehydes, which were derivatized with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine (DNPH). We have demonstrated in vivo deamination of methylamine and aminoacetone by examining the excretion of formaldehyde and methylglyoxal, respectively, in rats. Following chronic administration of methylamine, the urinary level of malondialdehyde (MDA), an end product of lipid peroxidation, was also found to be substantially increased. A selective SSAO inhibitor blocked the increase of MDA. The results support the idea that increased SSAO-mediated deamination of methylamine and aminoacetone can be a potential cytotoxic risk factor.

Abstract
The mouse is known to be highly resistant to atherosclerosis. However, some inbred mouse strains are vulnerable to atherosclerosis when they are fed a high-cholesterol, high-fat diet. Increased deamination of methylamine (MA) and the subsequent production of formaldehyde has been recently shown to be a potential risk factor of atherosclerosis. In the present study semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase (SSAO)-mediated MA turnover in C57BL/6 mouse, a strain very susceptible to atherosclerosis, has been assessed in comparison to a moderate, i.e. BALB/c, and resistant, i.e. CD1, mouse strains. Kidney and aorta SSAO activities were found to be significantly increased in C57BL/6 in comparison to BALB/c and CD1 mice. A significant increase of urinary MA and formaldehyde were detected in C57BL/6. [14C]MA following intravenous injection would be quickly metabolized by SSAO. The labeled formaldehyde product would cross link with proteins. C57BL/6 exhibits significantly higher labeled protein adducts than BALB/c and CD1 in response to [14C]MA. The results indicated that mice vulnerable to atherosclerosis possess an increased SSAO-mediated MA turnover. The increase of production of formaldehyde, possibly other aldehydes, may induce endothelial injury or be chronically involved in protein cross-linking and subsequent angiopathy.

Abstract
The oral use of moist smokeless tobacco products (snuff) is causally associated with cancer of the mouth, lip, nasal cavities, esophagus and gut. The mechanism by which smokeless tobacco constituents produce genetic and tissue damage is not known. Recent studies in our laboratories have shown that an aqueous extract of smokeless tobacco (STE) activates macrophages with the resultant production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), including nitric oxide. Furthermore, the administration of acute doses of STE (125-500 mg/kg) to rats induces dose dependent increases in mitochondrial and microsomal lipid peroxidation, enhances DNA single strand breaks, and significantly increases the urinary excretion of the lipid metabolites malondialdehyde, formaldehyde, acetaldehyde and acetone. Since the use of tobacco is a chronic process, the effects of an aqueous extract of STE in rats following low dose exposure were examined. Female Sprague-Dawley rats were treated orally with 25 mg STE/kg every other day for 105 days. The effects of subchronic treatment of STE on hepatic microsomal and mitochondrial lipid peroxidation and the incidence of hepatic nuclear DNA damage were assessed. Lipid peroxidation increased 1.4- to 3.3-fold in hepatic mitochondria and microsome with STE treatment between 0 and 105 days with respect to control animals while hepatic DNA single strand breaks increased up to 3.4-fold. Maximum increases in lipid peroxidation and DNA single strand breaks occurred between 75 and 90 days of treatment. Urinary excretion of the four lipid metabolites malondialdehyde, formaldehyde, acetaldehyde and acetone was monitored by high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) with maximum increases being observed between 60 and 75 days of treatment. The results clearly indicate that low dose subchronic administration of STE induces an oxidative stress resulting in tissue damaging effects which may contribute to the toxicity and carcinogenicity of STE.

Abstract
One of the major processes that occur as a result of radical-induced oxidative stress is lipid peroxidation (LPO). Degradation of lipid peroxides results in various products, including a variety of carbonyl compounds. In the present study eight different lipid degradation products, i.e., formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, acetone, propanal, butanal, pentanal, hexanal and malondialdehyde were identified and measured simultaneously and quantitatively in rat urine after derivatization with O-(2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorbenzyl)hydroxylamine hydrochloride, extraction with heptane and using gas chromatography-electron-capture detection (GC-ECD). The identity of the respective oximes in urine was confirmed by gas chromatography-negative ion chemical ionization mass spectrometry (GC-NCI-MS). Simultaneously measured standard curves were linear for all oxime-products and the detection limits were between 39.0 +/- 5.3 (n=9) and 500 +/- 23 (n=9) fmol per microl injected sample. Recoveries of all products from urine or water were 73.0 +/- 5.2% and higher. In urine of CCl4-treated rats an increase in all eight lipid degradation products in urine was found 24 h following exposure. ACON showed the most distinct increase, followed by PROPA, BUTA and MDA. It is concluded that the rapid, selective and sensitive analytical method based on GC-ECD presented here is well suited for routine measurement of eight different lipid degradation products. These products appear to be useful as non-invasive biomarkers for in vivo oxidative stress induced in rats by CCl4.

Abstract
Recent studies have demonstrated that both chromium (VI) and cadmium (II) induce an oxidative stress, as determined by increased hepatic lipid peroxidation, hepatic glutathione depletion, hepatic nuclear DNA damage, and excretion of urinary lipid metabolites. However, whether chronic exposure to low levels of Cr(VI) and Cd(II) will produce an oxidative stress is not shown. The effects of oral, low (0.05 LD50) doses of sodium dichromate [Cr(VI); 2.5 mg/kg/d] and cadmium chloride [Cd(II); 4.4 mg/kg/d] in water on hepatic and brain mitochondrial and microsomal lipid peroxidation, excretion of urinary lipid metabolites including malondialdehyde, formaldehyde, acetaldehyde and acetone, and hepatic nuclear DNA-single strand breaks (SSB) were examined in female Sprague-Dawley rats over a period of 120 d. The animals were treated daily using an intragastric feeding needle. Maximum increases in hepatic and brain lipid peroxidation were observed between 60 and 75 d of treatment with both cations. Following Cr(VI) administration for 75 d, maximum increases in the urinary excretion of malondialdehyde, formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, and acetone were 2.1-, 1.8-, 2.1-, and 2.1-fold, respectively, while under the same conditions involving Cd(II) administration approximately 1.8-, 1.5-, 1.9-, and 1.5-fold increases were observed, respectively, as compared to control values. Following administration of Cr(VI) and Cd(II) for 75 d, approximately 2.4- and 3.8-fold increases in hepatic nuclear DNA-SSB were observed, respectively, while approximately 1.3- and 2.0-fold increases in brain nuclear DNA-SSB were observed, respectively. The results clearly indicate that low dose chronic administration of sodium dichromate and cadmium chloride induces an oxidative stress resulting in tissue damaging effects that may contribute to the toxicity and carcinogenicity of these two cations.

Abstract
In patients with end-stage renal failure (ESRF), the incidence of atherosclerosis and cancer is increased. The importance of lipid peroxidation (LPO) products in the pathogenesis of these complications has recently been emphasized. The LPO products malondialdehyde (MDA) and hexanal, lipophilic antioxidants and erythrocyte glutathione (GSH) were estimated in 10 pediatric hemodialysis (HD) patients before and after HD and in 11 peritoneal dialysis (CPD) patients. Before HD, MDA was elevated [median (interquartile range): 384.5 (110 to 501) nM; normal < 150 nM], whereas plasma hexanal levels were normal in all patients [130.5 (88 to 222) nM; < 320 nM]. HD decreased MDA concentrations on average by 88% but did not change hexanal levels. CPD patients exhibited high plasma MDA concentrations [371 (287 to 468) nM], whereas hexanal was in the low normal range [56 (51 to 81) nM]. Antioxidants were normal in both groups and unchanged during HD. GSH decreased slightly during HD. We hypothesize that MDA may accumulate in ESRF due to reduced plasma clearance. Our results argue against a general increase of LPO in uremia.

Abstract
Recent studies have described lipid peroxidation to be an early and sensitive consequence of cadmium exposure, and free radical scavengers and antioxidants have been reported to attenuate cadmium-induced toxicity. These observations suggest that cadmium produces reactive oxygen species that may mediate many of the untoward effects of cadmium. Therefore, the effects of cadmium (II) chloride on reactive oxygen species production were examined following a single oral exposure (0.50 LD50) by assessing hepatic mitochondrial and microsomal lipid peroxidation, glutathione content in the liver, excretion of urinary lipid metabolites, and the incidence of hepatic nuclear DNA damage. Increases in lipid peroxidation of 4.0- and 4.2-fold occurred in hepatic mitochondria and microsomes, respectively, 48 h after the oral administration of 44 mg cadmium (II) chloride/kg, while a 65% decrease in glutathione content was observed in the liver. The urinary excretion of malondialdehyde (MDA), formaldehyde (FA), acetaldehyde (ACT), and acetone (ACON) were determined at 0-96 h after Cd administration. Between 48 and 72 h posttreatment maximal excretion of the four urinary lipid metabolites was observed with increases of 2.2- to 3.6-fold in cadmium (II) chloride-treated rats. Increases in DNA single-strand breaks of 1.7-fold were observed 48 h after administration of cadmium. These results support the hypothesis that cadmium induces production of reactive oxygen species, which may contribute to the tissue-damaging effects of this metal ion.

Abstract
Quinone metabolites of naphthalene (NAP) are known to produce lipid peroxidation. However, the ability of naphthalene to induce oxidative stress in experimental animals has not been extensively investigated. Furthermore, the effects of vitamin E succinate [(+)-alpha-tocopherol acid succinate; VES] on naphthalene-induced oxidative stress and tissue damage were assessed. Female Sprague-Dawley rats were treated with a single oral dose of 1100 mg naphthalene/kg (0.50 LD50) in corn oil. Vitamin E succinate-treated rats received 100 mg VES/kg/day orally for 3 d before naphthalene treatment, and 40 mg VES/kg/d after NAP administration. Hepatic and brain tissues and urine samples were collected 0, 12, 24, 48, and 72 h after NAP treatment. Naphthalene treatment resulted in a 2.1-fold increase in lipid peroxidation in liver and brain mitochondria at the 24-h time point. Increases in hepatic and brain mitochondrial lipid peroxidation in VES plus NAP-treated rats were 39-46% less than NAP treated rats at 24 h. DNA-single strand breaks increased 3.0-fold in hepatic tissues in NAP treated rats, and increased only 1.6-fold in VES protected rats at the 24-h time point. Glutathione (GSH) decreased by 83 and 49% in hepatic and brain tissues, respectively, in NAP-treated rats at the 24-h time point, while GSH content in VES plus NAP-treated rats decreased 47 and 21% in hepatic and brain tissues, respectively, at this same time point. Microsomal membrane fluidity, a measurement of membrane damage, increased 1.9- and 1.7-fold in liver and brain tissues, respectively, in NAP-treated rats, and only 1.3- and 1.2-fold in NAP plus VES-treated rats at the 24-h time point. The urinary excretion of malondialdehyde (MDA), formaldehyde (FA), acetaldehyde (ACT), and acetone (ACON) was determined at 0-96 h after NAP administration. Between 12-24 h after NAP administration maximal excretion of the four urinary lipid metabolites was observed, with increases of 4.5-, 2.7-, 2.3-, and 2.8-fold for MDA, FA, ACT, and ACON, respectively, at the 24-h time point. VES reduced the NAP-induced excretion of these urinary metabolites by 28-49% 24 h after NAP administration. These results support the hypothesis that NAP induces oxidative stress and tissue damage, and that vitamin E succinate provides significant protection.

Abstract
Productive investigation of the contribution of oxidative stress to human disease is facilitated by the design and application of suitable analytical technologies for oxidation product analysis. Lipid oxidation, including polyunsaturated fatty acid and cholesterol oxidation, produces a variety of products that can function as indexes of the extent of oxidation. These products include fatty acid hydroperoxides and hydroxides, aldehydes, prostanoids, hydrocarbons, and cholesterol hydroperoxides and hydroxides, epoxides, and carbonyls. Some of these oxidation products have biological activities that can contribute to tissue damage in unique ways. This paper reviews the state-of-the-art for chromatographic analysis of these products through a discussion of advances that have taken place since 1990.

Abstract
Pregnant CF1 mice were given 30 micrograms 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD)/kg or the vehicle as a single i.p. dose on day 12 of gestation and killed 48 h later. Increases in DNA elution rate constants (single strand breaks) in fetal and placental nuclei of 1.8- and 2.3-fold, respectively, were observed. Increases in lipid peroxidation (thiobarbituric acid reactive substances) in placental and fetal tissues of 1.9- and 1.5-fold, respectively, were also observed. TCDD administration produced increases in the amniotic fluid levels of the lipid metabolites malondialdehyde (MDA), formaldehyde (FA), acetaldehyde (ACT), and acetone (ACON) of 2.5-, 1.6-, 1.4-, and 1.6-fold, respectively relative to control animals. The results suggest that reactive oxygen species may participate in the teratogenic effects of TCDD.

Abstract
Chromium occurs in the workplace primarily in the valence forms Cr(III) and Cr(VI). Recent studies have demonstrated that sodium dichromate [Cr(VI)] induces greater oxidative stress as compared with Cr(III), as indicated by the production of reactive oxygen species by peritoneal macrophages and hepatic mitochondria and microsomes, and enhanced excretion of urinary lipid metabolites and hepatic DNA-single strand breaks (SSB) following acute oral administration of Cr(III) and Cr(VI). We have therefore examined the chronic effects of sodium dichromate dihydrate [Cr(VI); 10 mg (33.56 mumol)/kg/day] on hepatic mitochondrial and microsomal lipid peroxidation, enhanced excretion of urinary lipid metabolites including malondialdehyde (MDA), formaldehyde (FA), acetaldehyde (ACT), acetone (ACON) and propionaldehyde (PROP), and hepatic DNA damage over a period of 90 days. The maximal increases in hepatic lipid peroxidation and DNA damage were observed at approximately 45 days of treatment. Maximum increases in the urinary excretion of MDA, FA, ACT, ACON and PROP were 3.2-, 2.6-, 4.1-, 3.3- and 2.1-fold, respectively, while a 5.2-fold increase in DNA-SSB was observed. The results clearly indicate that chronic sodium dichromate administration induces oxidative stress resulting in tissue damaging effects which may contribute to the toxicity and carcinogenicity of hexavalent chromium.

Abstract
Chromium and its salts induce cytotoxicity and mutagenesis, and vitamin E has been reported to attenuate chromate-induced cytotoxicity. These observations suggest that chromium produces reactive oxygen species which may mediate many of the untoward effects of chromium. We have therefore examined and compared the effects of Cr(III) (chromium chloride hexahydrate) and Cr(VI) (sodium dichromate) following single oral doses (0.50 LD50) on the production of reactive oxygen species by peritoneal macrophages, and hepatic mitochondria and microsomes in rats. The effects of Cr(III) and Cr(VI) on hepatic mitochondrial and microsomal lipid peroxidation and enhanced excretion of urinary lipid metabolites as well as the incidence of hepatic nuclear DNA damage and nitric oxide (NO) production were also examined. Increases in lipid peroxidation of 1.8- and 2.2-fold occurred in hepatic mitochondria and microsomes, respectively, 48 hr after the oral administration of 25 mg Cr(VI)/kg, while increases of 1.2- and 1.4-fold, respectively, were observed after 895 mg Cr(III)/kg. The urinary excretion of malondialdehyde (MDA), formaldehyde (FA), acetaldehyde (ACT) and acetone (ACON) were determined at 0-96 hr after Cr administration. Between 48 and 72 hr post-treatment, maximal excretion of the four urinary lipid metabolites was observed with increases of 1.5- to 5.4-fold in Cr(VI) treated rats. Peritoneal macrophages from Cr(VI) treated animals 48 hr after treatment resulted in 1.4- and 3.6-fold increases in chemiluminescence and iodonitrotetrazolium reduction, indicating enhanced production of superoxide anion, while macrophages from Cr(III) treated animals showed negligible increases. Increases in DNA single strand breaks of 1.7-fold and 1.5-fold were observed following administration of Cr(VI) and Cr(III), respectively, at 48 hr post-treatment. Enhanced production of NO by peritoneal exudate cells (primarily macrophages) was monitored following Cr(VI) administration at both 24 and 48 hr post-treatment with enhanced production of NO being observed at both timepoints. The results indicate that both Cr(VI) and Cr(III) induce an oxidative stress at equitoxic doses, while Cr(VI) induces greater oxidative stress in rats as compared with Cr(III) treated animals.

Abstract
Adriamycin produces clinically useful responses in a variety of human cancers including lymphomas, leukemias, and solid tumors. However, the toxicity of adriamycin has limited its usefulness. Iron-catalyzed free radical reactions as the peroxidation of membrane lipids, inactivation of critical enzymes, and the inhibition of DNA, RNA and protein synthesis in heart, liver and kidney have been implicated in the toxicity of adriamycin. In order to further assess the role of oxidative stress in the toxicity of adriamycin, the effects of adriamycin were examined on the urinary excretion of lipid metabolites at 0, 6, 12, 24, 48 and 72 h post-treatment, and on myocardial and hepatic lipid peroxidation and nuclear DNA single strand breaks at 24 h post-treatment following single oral and intravenous (i.v.) doses of 10 mg/kg adriamycin. Urinary malondialdehyde (MDA), formaldehyde (FA), acetaldehyde (ACT) and acetone (ACON) excretion was significantly increased at all time points examined. Following the oral administration of adriamycin, maximum excretion of MDA, FA, ACT and ACON of 6.2-, 2.7-, 3.7- and 2.2-fold relative to control values, respectively, occurred 24 h after treatment. However, following the i.v. administration of adriamycin, greatest increases in excretion of MDA, FA and ACT reaching 6.9-, 3.3- and 6.3-fold relative to control values, respectively, were observed 6 h after treatment, while the greatest increase in ACON excretion of 4.2-fold relative to control values occurred 12 h post-treatment. Following oral and i.v. administration of adriamycin, significant increases were observed in myocardial and hepatic lipid peroxidation in mitochondrial and microsomal membranes, and myocardial and hepatic nuclei DNA single strand breaks 24 h after treatment. The results indicate that adriamycin administration induces myocardial and hepatic lipid peroxidation which may be responsible for enhanced excretion of urinary lipid metabolites as a result of membrane damage, and also induces enhanced DNA damage. These effects may be due to adriamycin-induced production of reactive oxygen species.

Abstract
Previous studies in our laboratory have shown that the protein toxin ricin induces an oxidative stress in mice, resulting in increased urinary excretion of malondialdehyde (MDA), formaldehyde (FA), and acetone (ACON). Other toxicants have been shown to induce oxidative stress by macrophage activation with subsequent release of reactive oxygen species and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha). Therefore, the ability of TNF-alpha antibody to modulate ricin-induced urinary carbonyl excretion as well as hepatic lipid peroxidation, glutathione depletion, and DNA single-strand breaks was assessed. Ricin-induced urinary MDA, FA, and ACON were reduced significantly in mice receiving antibody (15,000 U/kg) 2 hours before treatment with ricin (5 micrograms/kg). At 48 hours following ricin treatment, MDA, FA, and ACON concentrations in the urine of TNF antibody-treated mice decreased 25.7, 53.2, and 64.5%, respectively, relative to ricin-treated mice receiving no antibody. In addition, anti-TNF-alpha (1500 U/kg) significantly decreased hepatic lipid peroxidation and DNA single-strand breaks, induced by 5 micrograms ricin/kg, by 49.3 and 44.2%, respectively. The results suggest that macrophage activation and subsequent release of TNF-alpha are involved in ricin toxicity.

Abstract
A high pressure liquid chromatographic system (HPLC) has recently been developed for the simultaneous detection of malondialdehyde (MDA), formaldehyde (FA), acetaldehyde (ACT) and acetone (ACON). We have examined the urinary excretion of these four lipid metabolites in the urine of rats following the acute oral administration of MDA (158 mg/kg body weight). During the first 12 h, increases in the urinary excretion of MDA and ACT of approximately 192- and 70-fold, respectively, were observed. The urinary excretion of both MDA and ACT decreased thereafter. An increase in FA excretion was observed only 12-24 h after MDA administration. A significant decrease in ACON relative to control values was observed 12-48 h after MDA treatment. Two new peaks were present in the HPLC chromatograms of urine samples 0-24 h after MDA administration. Both peaks were shown to be due to methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) which appears to be formed as a result of MDA metabolism. The results demonstrate that orally administered MDA is rapidly excreted in the urine, and alters the metabolism and excretion of other lipid metabolites.

Abstract
Lipid peroxidation (LPO) is the oxidative deterioration of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) with the production of lipid hydroperoxides, cyclic peroxides, cyclic endoperoxides, and finally fragmentation to ketones and aldehydes (including malonaldehyde, MDA). Estimation of LPO through MDA formation measured by assaying thiobarbituric acid (TBA) reactive products remains the method of choice to study the development of oxidative stress in tissues. However, MDA estimation by TBA reactive products is non-specific and often gives erroneous results. In this report we describe a method using high-performance liquid chromatographic separation to estimate MDA, formaldehyde (FDA), acetaldehyde (ADA), acetone, and propionaldehyde (PDA), the degradation products of oxygen-derived free radicals (ODFR) and PUFA, as presumptive markers for LPO. Oxidative stress was induced in the tissue by perfusing an isolated rat heart with hydroxyl radical generating system (xanthine + xanthine oxidase + FeCl3 + EDTA). The coronary effluents were collected, derivatized with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine (DNPH), and extracted with pentane. Aliquots of 25 microliters in acetonitrile were injected onto a Beckman Ultrasphere C18 (3 microns) column. The products were eluted isocratically with a mobile phase containing acetonitrile-water-acetic acid (40:60:0.1, v/v/v), measured at three different wavelengths (307, 325 and 356 nm) using a Waters M-490 multichannel UV detector and collected for gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis. The peaks were identified by cochromatography with DNPH derivatives of authentic standards, peak addition, UV pattern of absorption at the three wavelengths, and by GC-MS. The retention items of MDA, FDA, ADA, acetone, and PDA were 5.3, 6.6, 10.3, 16.5, and 20.5 min, respectively. The results of our study indicated progressive increase of all five lipid metabolites as a function of the duration of ODFR perfusion. Hydroxyl radical scavengers, superoxide dismutase plus catalase, completely inhibited the formation of these lipid metabolites, demonstrating that the release of lipid metabolites from the isolated heart was indeed in response to oxidative stress. Since MDA, FDA, ADA, acetone, and PDA are the products of ODFR-PUFA interactions, this method allows proper estimation of LPO which monitors the oxidative stress developed during the reperfusion of ischemic myocardium.

Abstract
Oxidative stress is believed to play a pivotal role in endrin-induced hepatic and neurologic toxicity. Therefore, the effects of the antioxidants vitamin E succinate and ellagic acid have been examined on hepatic lipid peroxidation, DNA single-strand breaks (SSB), and the urinary excretion of lipid metabolites following an acute oral dose of 4.5 mg endrin/kg. Groups of rats were pretreated with 100 mg/kg vitamin E succinate for 3 d followed by 40 mg/kg on day 4, or 6.0 mg ellagic acid/kg for 3 d p.o. followed by 3.0 mg/kg on day 4 or the vehicle. Endrin was administered p.o. on day 4 2 hr after treatment with the antioxidant. All animals were killed 24 h after endrin administration. Vitamin E succinate pretreatment decreased the endrin-induced increase in hepatic mitochondrial and microsomal lipid peroxidation by approximately 60% and 40%, respectively. Ellagic acid pretreatment reduced the endrin-induced increased in mitochondrial and microsomal lipid peroxidation by approximately 76 and 79%, respectively. Both vitamin E succinate and ellagic acid alone produced small but nonsignificant decreases in hepatic mitochondrial and microsomal lipid peroxidation. A 3.3-fold increase in the incidence of hepatic nuclear DNA single-strand breaks was observed 24 h after endrin administration. Pretreatment of rats with vitamin E succinate, vitamin E, and ellagic acid decreased endrin-induced DNA-SSB by approximately 47%, 22%, and 21%, respectively. Pretreatment of rats with vitamin E succinate decreased the endrin-induced increase in the urinary excretion of malondialdehyde, acetaldehyde, formaldehyde, and acetone by approximately 68, 65, 70, and 55%, respectively.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Excretions of the lipid peroxidation products, formaldehyde (FA), acetaldehyde (ACT), malondialdehyde (MDA), and acetone (ACON), were simultaneously identified and quantitated in the urine of female Sprague-Dawley rats by gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy (GC-MS) and high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) following the acute administration of carbon tetrachloride, a model alkylating agent that does not induce glutathione depletion, and the redox cycling compounds paraquat and menadione. All three xenobiotics are well-known inducers of oxidative stress. Oxidative stress was induced by oral administration of single doses of 2.5 mL of carbon tetrachloride/kg, 60 mg menadione/kg, and 75 mg paraquat/kg. These doses are approximately 50% of the LD50's for the three xenobiotics. Urinary excretion of FA, ACT, MDA, and ACON increased relative to control animals following treatment with all xenobiotics. Over the 48 hours of the study, the greatest increases in the excretion of MDA, FA, ACT, and ACON occurred after paraquat administration, with increases of approximately 2.7-, 2.6-, 4.3-, and 11.0-fold, respectively. This technique may have wide-spread applicability as an effective biomarker for investigating altered lipid metabolism in disease states and exposure to environmental pollutants/xenobiotics.

Abstract
Estimation of lipid peroxidation (LPO) through malonaldehyde (MDA) formation measured by assaying thiobarbituric acid reactive products remains the method of choice to study the development of oxidative stress to assess myocardial ischemic reperfusion injury. However, MDA estimation by this assay is non-specific and often gives erroneous results. In this report, we describe a method to estimate MDA, formaldehyde (FDA), acetaldehyde (ADA), and acetone, the degradation products of oxygen free radicals (OFR) and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), as presumptive markers for LPO. Isolated rat hearts were made ischemic for 30 min, followed by 60 min of reperfusion. The perfusates were collected, derivatized with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine, and extracted with pentane. Aliquots of 25 microliters in acetonitrile were injected on a Beckman Ultrasphere C18 (3 microns) column. The products were eluted isocratically with a mobile phase containing acetonitrile-water-acetic acid (40:60:0.1, v/v/v). The peaks were identified by co-chromatography with the hydrazine derivatives of authentic standards. The retention times of MDA, FDA, ADA and acetone were 5.0, 6.3, 9.8 and 15.7 min, respectively. The results of our study indicated progressive increase in all four lipid metabolites with reperfusion time. Thus, our results demonstrate that the release of lipid metabolites from the isolated heart increased in response to oxidative stress. Since MDA, FDA, ADA, and acetone are the products of OFR-PUFA interactions, this method allows proper estimation of LPO to monitor the oxidative stress developed during the reperfusion of ischemic myocardium.

Abstract
Previous studies have shown that endrin induces an oxidative stress in rats as demonstrated by an increase in hepatic lipid peroxidation, a decrease in glutathione content and a decrease in the activity in selenium-dependent glutathione peroxidase. We have therefore examined the effects of orally administering 1.5, 3.0, 4.5 and 6.0 mg endrin/kg on the urinary excretion of the lipid metabolites formaldehyde, malondialdehyde, acetaldehyde and acetone. The simultaneous determination of these four lipid metabolites may be a useful biomarker for assessing exposure to xenobiotics which induce an oxidative stress and enhanced lipid peroxidation. Urine samples were collected up to 72 h post-treatment. The identities of the lipid metabolites were confirmed by gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy, while the 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine derivatives of these metabolic products were quantitated by high pressure liquid chromatography. Maximum increases in the excretion of the four lipid metabolites occurred at approx. 24 h post-treatment at all doses with no significant increases in excretion occurring thereafter. The maximum increases in excretion of malondialdehyde, formaldehyde, acetaldehyde and acetone were approx. 160%, 93%, 121% and 162%, respectively, relative to control values. Seventy-two hours after endrin administration, the liver weight/body weight and spleen weight/body weight ratios significantly increased while the thymus weight/body weight ratio markedly decreased. The results demonstrate that endrin induces dose- and time-dependent alterations in lipid metabolism with the enhanced excretion of specific metabolic products in the urine.
