Abstract
Lipid peroxidation is an important biological reaction. In particular, polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) can be oxidized easily. Peroxidized lipids often react with other amines accompanied by the formation of various covalent adducts. Novel amide-type lipid-lysine adducts have been identified from an in vitro reaction mixture of lipid hydroperoxide with a protein, biological tissues exposed to conditions of oxidative stress and human urine from a healthy person. In this chapter, the current knowledge of amide type adducts is reviewed with a focus on the evaluation of functional foods and diseases with a history of discovery of hexanoyl-lysine (HEL). Although there is extensive research on HEL and other amide-type adducts, the mechanism of generation of the amide bond remains unclear. We have found that the decomposed aldehyde plus peroxide combined with a lysine moiety does not fully explain the formation of the amide-type lipid-lysine adduct that is generated by lipid hydroperoxide. Singlet oxygen or an excited state of the ketone generated from the lipid hydroperoxide may also contribute to the formation of the amide linkage. The amide-adducts may prove useful not only for the detection of oxidative stress induced by disease but also for the estimation of damage caused by an excess intake of PUFA.

Abstract
Lipoproteins consist of lipids and apolipoproteins that have functional roles in lipid metabolism. It has been suggested that oxidation of lipoproteins by reactive oxygen species (ROS) may be involved in the inception of various diseases. In particular, the relationship between low-density lipoprotein (LDL) oxidation and atherosclerosis has been studied in great detail. The main target molecules of lipoprotein oxidation are polyunsaturated fatty acid residues of lipids and apolipoproteins. Extensive investigations have characterized oxidative modifications of apolipoprotein B100 (apo B100) in LDL. Furthermore, modifications of apo B100 by oxidized lipids have been confirmed in oxidized LDL and atherosclerotic lesions using immunological techniques. In this chapter, characteristics and oxidation mechanisms of lipoproteins by ROS are described from in vitro and in vivo studies. Oxidative modifications of apo B100 by lipid hydroperoxides, major products of lipid peroxidation at the early stage, are principally reported.

Abstract
Dopamine is the endogenous neurotransmitter produced by nigral neurons. Dopamine loss can trigger not only prominent secondary morphological changes, but also changes in the density and sensitivity of dopamine receptors; therefore, it is a sign of PD development. The reasons for dopamine loss are attributed to dopamine's molecular instability due to it is a member of catecholamine family, whose catechol structure contributes to high oxidative stress through enzymatic and non-enzymatic oxidation. Oxidative stress in the brain easily leads to the lipid peroxidation reaction due to a high concentration of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), such as docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, C22:6/ω-3) and arachidonic acid (AA, C18:4/ω-6). Recent studies have shown that lipid hydroperoxides, the primary peroxidative products, could non-specifically react with primary amino groups to form N-acyl-type (amide-linkage) adducts. Therefore, based on the NH2-teminals in dopamine's structure, the aims of this chapter are to describes the possibility that reactive LOOH species derived from DHA/AA lipid peroxidation may modify dopamine to form amide-linkage dopamine adducts, which might be related to etiology of Parkinson's diseases.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Activation of the activator protein 1 (AP-1) transcription factor as well as increased serum levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and interleukin (IL)-8 predict poor prognosis of patients with hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs). Moreover, HCC patients display reduced selenium levels, which may cause lipid peroxidation and oxidative stress because selenium is an essential component of antioxidative glutathione peroxidases (GPx). We hypothesized that selenium-lipid peroxide antagonism controls the above prognostic markers and tumor growth. (1) In human HCC cell lines (HCC-1.2, HCC-3, and SNU398) linoleic acid peroxide (LOOH) and other prooxidants enhanced the expression of VEGF and IL-8. LOOH up-regulated AP-1 activation. Selenium inhibited these effects. This inhibition was mediated by glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPx4), which preferentially degrades lipid peroxides. Selenium enhanced GPx4 expression and total GPx activity, while knock-down of GPx4 by small interfering RNA (siRNA) increased VEGF, and IL-8 expression. (2) These results were confirmed in a rat hepatocarcinogenesis model. Selenium treatment during tumor promotion increased hepatic GPx4 expression and reduced the expression of VEGF and of the AP-1 component c-fos as well as nodule growth. (3) In HCC patients, increased levels of LOOH-related antibodies (LOOH-Ab) were found, suggesting enhanced LOOH formation. LOOH-Ab correlated with serum VEGF and IL-8 and with AP-1 activation in HCC tissue. In contrast, selenium inversely correlated with VEGF, IL-8, and HCC size (the latter only for tumors smaller than 3 cm). CONCLUSION Reduced selenium levels result in accumulation of lipid peroxides. This leads to enhanced AP-1 activation and consequently to elevated expression of VEGF and IL-8, which accelerate the growth of HCC. Selenium supplementation could be considered for investigation as a strategy for chemoprevention or additional therapy of early HCC in patients with low selenium levels.

Abstract
Research into lipid peroxidation-induced protein modification has been ongoing for many years. Recent studies on lipo-oxidation shows the occurrence of another type of protein modification, amide-type adduct formation by lipid hydroperoxide, as well as classical aldehyde-derived protein modifications. The amide-type modifications can be either classified as alkylamide and carboxyalkylamide according to the formed structures. As an alkylamide-type adduct, Nepsilon-(hexanoyl)lysine can be formed by the reaction of peroxidized n-6 fatty acid with lysine. Nepsilon-(propanoyl)lysine is considered to be generated from oxidation of n-3 fatty acid with lysine. The generation pattern of both might be useful for classification of which fatty acids are more involved in oxidation in vivo. Since the alkylamide type-adducts are relatively stable and detectable from biological specimens like urine, these adducts, especially Nepsilon-(hexanoyl)lysine, are used as reliable markers for not only oxidative stress evaluation but also development of functional food.

Abstract
Myeloperoxidase (MPO) generates reactive halogenating species that can modify DNA. The aim of this study was to investigate the formation of 8-halogenated 2'-deoxyguanosines (8- halo-dGs) during inflammatory events. 8-Bromo-2'-dG (8-BrdG) and 8-chloro-2'-dG (8-CldG) were generated by treatment of MPO with hydrogen peroxide at physiological concentrations of Cl(-) and Br(-). The formation of 8-halo-dGs with other oxidative stress biomarkers in lipopolysaccharide-treated rats was assessed by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry and immunohistochemistry using a novel monoclonal antibody (mAb8B3) to 8-BrdG-conjugated keyhole limpet hemocyanin. The antibody recognized both 8-BrdG and 8-CldG. In the liver of lipopolysaccharide-treated rats, immunostaining for 8-halo-dGs, halogenated tyrosines, and MPO were increased at 8 h, whereas those of 8-oxo-2'-dG (8-OxodG) and 3-nitrotyrosine were increased at 24 h. Urinary excretion of both 8-CldG and 8-BrdG was also observed earlier than those of 8-OxodG and modified tyrosines (3-nitrotyrosine, 3-chlorotyrosine, and 3- bromotyrosine). Moreover, the levels of the 8-halo-dGs in urine from human diabetic patients were 8-fold higher than in healthy subjects (n = 10, healthy and diabetic, p < 0.0001), whereas there was a moderate difference in 8-OxodG between the two groups (p < 0.001). Interestingly, positive mAb8B3 antibody staining was observed in liver tissue from hepatocellular carcinoma patients but not in liver tissue from human cirrhosis patients. These data suggest that 8-halo-dGs may be potential biomarkers of early inflammation.

Abstract
Advances in understanding the neurodegenerative pathologies are creating new opportunities for the development of neuroprotective therapies, such as antioxidant food factors, lifestyle modification, and drugs. However, the biomarker by which to determine the effect of the agent on neurodegeneration is limited. We here address hexanoyl dopamine (HED), one of novel dopamine adducts derived from brain polyunsaturated acid, referring to its in vitro formation, potent toxicity to SH-SY5Y cells, and application to assess the neuroprotective effect of antioxidative food factors. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter and its deficiency is a characterized feature in Parkinson's disease (PD), thereby HED represents a new addition to understanding of dopamine biology and pathophysiology of PD and a novel biomarker for the assessment of neuroprotective therapies. We have established an analytical system using for the detection of HED and its toxicity to the neuroblstoma cell line, SH-SY5Y cells. Here, we discuss the characteristics of the system and its applications to investigate the neuroprotective effect of several antioxidants that originate from food.

Abstract
Myeloperoxidase (MPO), a heme protein existing in neutrophil and monocyte, is implicated in various stages of inflammatory conditions with the production of a variety of potent oxidants. To investigate the extent of the involvement of MPO in aging, we measured MPO activities in kidney of rats at different ages maintained with an ad libitum (AL) or a calorie restriction (CR) dietary regimen. Results showed that the MPO activities increased during aging in AL rats, but were significantly attenuated by CR. This result was consistent with altered protein level of MPO during aging. In addition, we were able to detect dityrosine that is a stable end MPO-oxidation product. The amount of dityrosine increased in old AL, but not in old CR rats. To examine the source responsible for increased MPO activity during aging for leukocyte recruitment and infiltration, the levels of vascular cell adhesion molecule (VCAM-1) protein were measured. The level of VCAM-1 showed age-dependent increase in AL rats, which was correlated with higher activity of MPO in old AL rats. Furthermore, we have found that LPS-induced inflammation increased the activity and protein levels of MPO, and VCAM-1 expression in young rat kidneys. These findings suggest that increased MPO activity with aging may related to increased recruitment of inflammatory cells, contributing to protein oxidation accumulation in the aging process. We propose that age-related alterations of MPO, dityrosine, and VCAM were modulated by CR through its anti-inflammatory action.

Abstract
It is known that n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), such as docosahexaenoic acid and eicosapentaenoic acid, are rapidly oxidized in vitro. Nvarepsilon-(propanoyl)lysine (propionyllysine, or PRL) is formed from the reaction of the oxidized products of n-3 PUFAs and lysine. To evaluate the oxidized n-3 PUFA-derived protein modifications in vivo, we have developed detection methods using a novel monoclonal antibody against PRL as well as liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS). The antibody obtained specifically recognized PRL. A strong positive staining in atherosclerotic lesions of hypercholesterolemic rabbits was observed. We have also simultaneously identified and quantified both urinary PRL and urinary Nvarepsilon-(hexanoyl)lysine, using LC/MS/MS using isotope dilution methods. The level of urinary PRL (21.6+/-10.6 micromol/mol of creatinine) significantly correlated with the other oxidative stress markers, 8-oxo-deoxyguanosine, dityrosine, and isoprostanes. The increase in the excretion of amide adducts into the urine of diabetic patients was also confirmed compared to healthy subjects. These results suggest that PRL may be good marker for n-3 PUFA-derived oxidative stress in vivo.

Abstract
Oxidative stress appears to be directly involved in the pathogenesis of the neurodegeneration of dopaminergic systems in Parkinson disease. In this study, we formed four dopamine modification adducts derived from docosahexaenoic acid (C22:6/omega-3) and arachidonic acid (C18:4/omega-6), which are known as the major polyunsaturated fatty acids in the brain. Upon incubation of dopamine with fatty acid hydroperoxides and an in vivo experiment using rat brain tissue, all four dopamine adducts were detected. Furthermore, hexanoyl dopamine (HED), an arachidonic acid-derived adduct, caused severe cytotoxicity in human dopaminergic neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells, whereas the other adducts were only slightly affected. The HED-induced cell death was found to include apoptosis, which also seems to be mediated by reactive oxygen species generation and mitochondrial abnormality. Additionally, the experiments using monoamine transporter inhibitor and mouse embryonic fibroblast NIH-3T3 cells that lack the monoamine transporter indicate that the HED-induced cytotoxicity might specially occur in the neuronal cells. These data suggest that the formation of the docosahexaenoic acid- and arachidonic acid-derived dopamine adducts in vitro and in vivo, and HED, the arachidonic acid-derived dopamine modification adduct, which caused selective cytotoxicity of neuronal cells, may indicate a novel mechanism responsible for the pathogenesis in Parkinson disease.

Abstract
Curcumin (U1) has a wide spectrum of therapeutic effects such as antitumor and anti-inflammatory effects, including antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, and antispasmodic activities. By comparison of the structure-activity relationship, tetrahydrocurcumin (THU1), one of the major metabolites, showed the highest antioxidative activity in both in vitro and in vivo systems. U1 has been reported to have the nephroprotective effect to improve creatinine and urea clearance and also protected the chronic renal allograft nephropathy. These beneficial effects have been explained by the protection of oxidative stress and the induction of antioxidative enzymes. The protective effect of THU1 against ferric nitrilotriacetate (Fe-NTA)-induced oxidative renal damage using male ddY mice was greater than that of U1, by monitoring not only radical scavenging activity measured by ESR, and TBARS, 4-HNE-modified protein and 8-OHdG formation but also induction of anioxidative enzymes and detoxification enzymes. THU1 was also expected to improve redox regulation through glutathione and suppress the oxidative stress in diabetic nephropathy and neuropathy. Earlier studies reported that U1 reduced the iron-induced hepatic damage, aflatoxin- and benzo[a]pyrene- induced mutagenicity and hepatocarcinogenecity and also the formation of the DNA adduct by inhibiting cytochrome P450 in the liver. The hepatoprotective role of U1 has been examined using carbone terachloride-induced liver damage in rats and alcoholic liver disease model rats, but not examined using THU1. Our recent data suggests that THU1 is a more promising hepatprotective agent because of its strong induction activity of antioxidant and phase 2-metabolizing enzymes in liver compared to kidney, although more detaied examinations are required.

Abstract
Free radical-catalyzed peroxidation of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, C22:6/omega-3) generates various lipid peroxidation products that covalently modify biomolecules such as proteins. Under a free radical-generating system, DHA significantly modified lysine residues in bovine serum albumin. Upon incubation of oxidized DHA with an amino-compound pyridoxamine or a lysine-containing peptide, N-propanoyl and N-succinyl adducts were determined to be the major modification products. The hydroperoxide levels in the oxidized DHA closely reflected the formation of the N(epsilon)-(succinyl)lysine (SUL) upon reaction with the peptide, indicating that the hydroperoxides of DHA represent a potential pathway for the formation of SUL. To detect the DHA-derived protein modification in vivo, we developed a monoclonal antibody (mAb2B12) specific to SUL and found that the antibody specifically reacts with the SUL moiety. The formation of SUL was then immunochemically demonstrated in the liver of mice fed with DHA followed by intraperitoneal injection of carbon tetrachloride (CCl(4)), a hepatic lipid peroxidation model. Immunoreactive materials with mAb2B12 were observed in the DHA + CCl(4) group, but were not significant in the control, DHA-alone, and CCl(4)-alone groups. These data suggest that the formation of DHA-derived adducts such as SUL may be implicated in the oxidative damage observed in DHA-enriched tissues.

Abstract
A radical reaction of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) causes fragmentation and cross-link of apolipoprotein B-100 (apoB). LDL (50 microg/ml) was subjected to the well-studied oxidation with Cu(2+) (1.67 microM). The concentration of alpha-tocopherol decreased to 10% of the initial level during the first 30 min. After this lag time, the conjugated diene content, as measured by absorption at 234 nm, started increasing and the residual apoB at 512 kDa determined by immunoblot after SDS-PAGE (sodium dodecylsulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis) was also decreased. The particle size of LDL determined by nondenaturing gradient gel electrophoresis decreased steadily during the initial 120 min, when residual native apoB was only 30% of the initial level. Plasma was also oxidized with Cu(2+) (400 microM). Under this condition, a clear lag time was not observed and alpha-tocopherol content, apoB, and the LDL particle size were decreased simultaneously. Based on these experiments, we propose that an oxidation reaction is involved in the formation of small dense LDL.

Abstract
The identification and quantification of N(epsilon)-(hexanoyl)lysine (N(epsilon)-HEL), which was found from the reactions between lipid hydroperoxide and lysine, from human urine was examined using liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS). The N(epsilon)-HEL in the partially purified urine fraction was identified using LC/MS/MS by several approaches including precursor/product ion scans. The peak found by the multiple-reaction monitoring (MRM) of the collision-induced fragmentation of N(epsilon)-HEL was clearly observed in urine, and the elution position coincided with the synthetic standard N(epsilon)-HEL. The product, estimated N(epsilon)-HEL, was absorbed by a specific antibody to N(epsilon)-HEL. Moreover, N(alpha)-HEL, one of the plausible hexanoyl adducts from the reaction between the N(alpha) moiety of L-lysine and the peroxidized lipid, was hardly detected in urine samples, suggesting that the origin of the N(epsilon)-HEL is the peroxidized lipid-modified proteins but not artificial hexanoylated L-lysine. Using the MRM technique, the amount of urinary N(epsilon)-HEL from the control subjects (observed healthy) was estimated to be 1.58 +/- 0.23 mumol/mol of creatinine. A comparative study of the urinary N(epsilon)-HEL with an oxidative stress marker, 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine, showed a high correlation (r = 0.844) between the two biomarkers. Furthermore, the quantification of N(epsilon)-HEL in the control and diabetic urines revealed that the urinary N(epsilon)-HEL from diabetic subjects (3.21 +/- 0.65 mumol/mol of creatinine) was significantly higher than that from the control subjects.

Abstract
We have recently identified Nepsilon-azelayllysine (AZL) as a carboxyalkylamide-type novel lysine adduct in the reaction of linoleic acid hydroperoxides with the lysine derivative. To examine the formation of AZL in vivo, a novel monoclonal antibody (mAb19D5) specific to AZL moiety was prepared. The mAb19D5 scarcely recognized oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL), whereas the treatment of oxLDL with alkali or phospholipase A2 significantly increased the immunoreactivity. Similarly, the immunopositive materials were detected in alkali- or phospholipase A2-treated sections from human atherosclerotic aorta but not in untreated sections. These results suggest that esterified lipid hydroperoxide-derived modification of protein may serve as one mechanism for the oxidative modification of LDL and subsequent formation of atherosclerotic lesions in vivo.

Abstract
We recently developed a short-term assay for skin H2O2 generation induced by double 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) applications for mechanistic study on skin epidermal carcinogenesis. In the present study, we investigated the individual roles of arachidonic acid metabolism in H2O2 generation in mouse skin inflammation. The experiments using inhibitors of arachidonic acid (AA) metabolism showed that corticosteroid and a lipoxygenase (LO) inhibitor expectedly suppressed double TPA application-induced H2O2 generation through the interference of chemotactic action but not by direct decomposition or scavenging. We also demonstrated that the treatment of AA (1 mumol) and 5-LO metabolites including leukotriene B4 (LTB4) partly mimicked, though soybean LO-derived lipid hydroperoxide and prostaglandins did not, the priming effect evaluated by edema formation and leukocyte infiltration. We also confirmed that inflammatory leukocytes accumulated by LTB4 generated a significant amount of H2O2 by TPA stimulation. These results suggested that 5-LO metabolites of AA are the potential key molecules in the TPA-induced priming event. Interestingly, the cyclooxygenase (COX-) 2-selective inhibitor nimesulide (NS) and celecoxib (CXB) showed different responses than those of other inhibitors. These agents showed no specific potential to inhibit the priming event but significantly suppressed H2O2 generation, lipid peroxidation, and hyperplasia in mouse skin. From the results based on an in vitro leukocyte differentiation model, we speculated that the antioxidant effect of the COX-2 inhibitors might be partly associated with both counteraction of proinflammatory cytokine-enhanced ROS generation and inhibition of CD11b, an important molecule for cell adhesion, expression. Indeed, the topical application of NS attenuated the number of infiltrated leukocytes induced by TPA in mouse skin. Thus, these gathered data indicated the differential roles of 5-LO and COX-2 in leukocyte adhesion, infiltration, and H2O2 generation.

Abstract
Radical reaction of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) is a key step in atherogenesis and causes both a decrease in the sialic acid moiety and modification of apolipoprotein B-100 (apoB). Although apoB modification (cross-link and fragmentation) increases in atherosclerosis, the change in apoB-bound sialic acid in atherosclerosis is controversial. To elucidate the physiological implications of desialylation of LDL by radical reaction, the reactivity of sialic acid of LDL was compared with that of apoB, which underwent facile fragmentation in radical reactions. ApoB was determined by immunoblot analysis with anti-apoB antiserum, and the sialic acid moiety was measured by blot analysis with a biotin-bound lectin [biotin-SSA from Japanese elderberry (Sambucus sieboldiana)] specific to sialic acid. When human LDL was oxidized with Cu(2+) at 37 degrees C, apoB and apoB-attached sialic acid decreased simultaneously. Comparison of the staining bands with anti-apoB and with biotin-SSA shows that sialic acid moieties still remain on fragmented apoB proteins, indicating that the decrease in sialic acid is much slower than that of apoB fragmentation. In addition, human plasma was oxidized with 400 microM of Cu(2+) at 37 degrees C. Similar analysis indicates that the decrease in sialic acid attached to apoB also results from the fragmentation of apoB. This study indicates that the fragmentation of apoB proceeds at a much faster rate than the decrease in sialic acid content when a free radical reaction is induced in isolated LDL as well as in plasma LDL exposed to Cu(2+)-induced oxidative stress. On the basis of these results, the modification of apoB is much more sensitive than the decrease in sialic acid as an indicator of oxidative stress.

Abstract
We have previously prepared the polyclonal antibody to the 13-hydroperoxyoctadecadienoic acid-modified protein (13Ab) (Kato et al. 1997. J. Lipid Res. 38: 1334-1346), however, the epitopes have not yet been structurally identified. In this study, we identified a novel amide-type adduct as one of the major epitopes of 13Ab and characterized the endogenous formation. Upon incubation of the lysine derivative with peroxidized linoleic acid, the formation of N epsilon -(azelayl)lysine (AZL) was confirmed using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. The chemically synthesized azelayl protein was significantly recognized by 13Ab. The peroxidation products of different polyunsaturated fatty acids also generated several analogous carboxyalkylamide-type adducts to AZL by the reaction with the lysine derivative, whereas 13Ab specifically recognized AZL, suggesting that the AZL moiety may be one of the major epitopes of 13Ab. The immunoreactive materials of 13Ab were immunohistochemically detected in atherosclerotic lesions from hypercholesterolemic rabbits. More strikingly, the immunoreactivity was significantly enhanced when the sections were treated with alkali or phospholipase A2 for hydrolyzing the ester bonds prior to the staining. These results suggest that the lipid hydroperoxide-derived carboxylic adducts, such as AZL, and their esters linked with phospholipids may be generated in vivo and involved in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis associated with oxidative stress.

Abstract
It is well established that radical reaction of low density lipoprotein (LDL) causes fragmentation and cross-linkage of apolipoprotein B-100 (apoB). Our previous studies demonstrated that fragmented and cross-linked apoB proteins are present in normal human serum and tended to increase with age based on immunoblot analysis. These observations suggest that the fragmentation and cross-linkage pattern of apoB reflects the oxidative stress in an individual and that this pattern is a good atherosclerotic index. In this study, a method was developed to evaluate the fragmentation and conjugation pattern of apoB. A parameter named B-ox was introduced for each serum sample to quantitate the staining bands of the immunoblotting analysis. B-ox represents the relative abundance of radical reaction products (a sum of fragmented and conjugated apoB proteins) based on one control subject. If this value increases, it indicates that radical reaction products have increased, i.e., the oxidative stress has increased in the subject. Based on measurements of subjects in a rural area of Japan, B-ox showed significant positive correlation with intima-media thickness (IMT) of the carotid artery, LDL cholesterol, and age, while it showed significant negative correlation with high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and vitamin C. These results suggest that B-ox is a reliable indicator of atherosclerosis.

Abstract
Fluvastatin, which is a synthetic 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitor, its metabolites (M2, M3 and M4) and trolox all inhibited the decrease of apolipoprotein B-100 (apoB) and alpha-tocopherol in a radical reaction of human plasma initiated by Cu2+. The concentrations of fluvastatin, M2, M3, M4 and trolox for 50% inhibition (IC50) of apoB fragmentation were 405, 8.55, 1.75, 305, and 43.4 microM, respectively. The IC50 value of pravastatin, which is another HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor, was 2880 microM, showing that pravastatin is not an effective antioxidant. Although fluvastatin, its metabolites and trolox inhibited the decrease of alpha-tocopherol in a similar manner to that of apoB, pravastatin did not significantly inhibit the decrease of alpha-tocopherol. Since oxidation of low density lipopotein (LDL) is an important step in the initiation and progression of atherosclerosis, fluvastatin may reduce the risk of atherosclerosis not only by lowering plasma cholesterol but also by protecting LDL from oxidation.

Abstract
The monoclonal antibody to N(epsilon)-(hexanonyl)lysine (HEL), a novel adduct formed by the reaction of linoleic acid hydroperoxide and lysine, has been prepared and characterized. The obtained antibody specifically recognized the HEL moiety. Using the monoclonal antibody, we evaluated the protective effects of feeding eriocitrin, which is one of flavonoids in lemon fruit, on oxidative modification induced by exercise in rats. The supplementation of eriocitrin significantly suppressed the increase in HEL in the skeletal muscle by exercise. The result suggests that the determination of HEL may be a good method for evaluation of the protective effect of beneficial food factors against oxidative stress.

Abstract
Maillard or browning reactions lead to formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) on protein and contribute to the increase in chemical modification of proteins during aging and in diabetes. AGE inhibitors such as aminoguanidine and pyridoxamine (PM) have proven effective in animal model and clinical studies as inhibitors of AGE formation and development of diabetic complications. We report here that PM also inhibits the chemical modification of proteins during lipid peroxidation (lipoxidation) reactions in vitro, and we show that it traps reactive intermediates formed during lipid peroxidation. In reactions of arachidonate with the model protein RNase, PM prevented modification of lysine residues and formation of the advanced lipoxidation end products (ALEs) N(epsilon)-(carboxymethyl)lysine, N(epsilon)-(carboxyethyl)lysine, malondialdehyde-lysine, and 4-hydroxynonenal-lysine. PM also inhibited lysine modification and formation of ALEs during copper-catalyzed oxidation of low density lipoprotein. Hexanoic acid amide and nonanedioic acid monoamide derivatives of PM were identified as major products formed during oxidation of linoleic acid in the presence of PM. We propose a mechanism for formation of these products from the 9- and 13-oxo-decadienoic acid intermediates formed during peroxidation of linoleic acid. PM, as a potent inhibitor of both AGE and ALE formation, may prove useful for limiting the increased chemical modification of tissue proteins and associated pathology in aging and chronic diseases, including both diabetes and atherosclerosis.

Abstract
Relative reactivities of proteins to radical reactions caused in human plasma were studied for the first time utilizing an immunoblotting assay. When radical reactions were caused by Cu(2+), apolipoprotein B-100 (apoB) underwent extensive fragmentation concurrently with the decrease in alpha-tocopherol, while human serum albumin (HSA) and transferrin (TF) were not decreased at all. When radical reactions were initiated by Cu(2+) with hydrogen peroxide or 2,2'-azobis(2-amidinopropane)dihydrochloride (AAPH), alpha-tocopherol and apoB were also decreased steadily but HSA and TF were not decreased. These observations indicate that apoB is extremely reactive, even comparable to alpha-tocopherol, towards radical reactions. These results also suggest that the radical reaction of apoB is a possible process in vivo and it is involved in atherogenesis along with low density lipoprotein lipid peroxidation, which has been studied extensively.

Abstract
The oxidative break down of the membrane polyunsaturated fatty acids is known to be accompanied by the formation of a complex mixture of lipidhydroperoxides and secondary products. These compounds are highly reactive and are capable of rapid reaction with cellular nucleophiles such as phospholipids and proteins, and it was found that these reaction products are candidates as impotant biomarkers to evaluate antioxidative activity of dietary antioxidants. The author has been involved in developing immunochemical detection methods for oxidative stress by application of polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies. From the hypothesis that endogenous antioxidants in plants must play an important role for antioxidative defense systems from oxidative stress, an intensive search for novel type of natural antioxidants has been carried out from numerous plant materials, including those used as foods, and we have isolated and identified a number of lipid-soluble and water-soluble dietary antioxidants from crop seeds, sesame seeds and some spices. In this paper, the recent progress of research on functions of dietary antioxidants is reviewed.

Abstract
The objectives of this study were to estimate the structure of the lipid hydroperoxide-modified lysine residue and to prove the presence of the adducts in vivo. The reaction of lipid hydroperoxide toward the lysine moiety was investigated employing N-benzoyl-glycyl-L-lysine (Bz-Gly-Lys) as a model compound of Lys residues in protein and 13-hydroperoxyoctadecadienoic acid (13-HPODE) as a model of the lipid hydroperoxides. One of the products, compound X, was isolated from the reaction mixture of 13-HPODE and Bz-Gly-Lys and was then identified as N-benzoyl-glycyl-Nepsilon-(hexanonyl)lysine. To prove the formation of Nepsilon-(hexanonyl)lysine, named HEL, in protein exposed to the lipid hydroperoxide, the antibody to the synthetic hexanonyl protein was prepared and then characterized in detail. Using the anti-HEL antibody, the presence of HEL in the lipid hydroperoxide-modified proteins and oxidized LDL was confirmed. Furthermore, the positive staining by anti-HEL antibody was observed in human atherosclerotic lesions using an immunohistochemical technique. The amide-type adduct may be a useful marker for the lipid hydroperoxide-derived modification of biomolecules.

Abstract
Evidence for the presence of 5alpha-hydroperoxycholest-6-en-3beta-ol (cholesterol 5alpha-hydroperoxide, Ch 5alpha-OOH) and 7alpha- and 7beta-hydroperoxycholest-5-en-3beta-ols (cholesterol 7-hydroperoxides: Ch 7alpha-OOH and Ch 7beta-OOH, respectively) in human erythrocyte membrane was found. Blood samples were collected from alcoholic patients and healthy volunteers (controls), and their cholesterol hydroperoxides were analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography postcolumn chemiluminescence and roughly identified by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Ch 7alpha-OOH and Ch 7beta-OOH were present in each sample, being significantly higher in alcoholic samples than in control samples. Ch 5alpha-OOH was present in some alcoholic samples, but not in the control ones. The accumulation of cholesterol hydroperoxides suggests enhanced lipid peroxidation by active oxygen species and/or a reduced elimination system for lipid peroxide in alcoholic patients.

Abstract
A method for separating, detecting, and quantifying cholesterol hydroperoxide (Ch-OOH) based on extraction, purification by solid-phase extraction cartridge, high-performance liquid chromatography with chemiluminescent detection (HPLC-CL), and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry has been developed for human erythrocyte membrane. We prepared standard compounds of the cholesterol 5alpha-, 7alpha-, and 7beta-hydroperoxides (Ch 5alpha-OOH, Ch 7alpha-OOH, and Ch 7beta-OOH). An octyl silica column with methanol/water/acetonitrile 89:9:2 (by vol) as eluent was used to determine Ch-OOH. HPLC-CL that incorporated cytochrome c and luminol as the post-column luminescent reagent was used. We also investigated the optimal assay conditions and how to prevent formation of artifact Ch-OOH. Analysis of erythrocyte membranes from seven healthy volunteers identified Ch 7alpha-OOH and Ch 7beta-OOH, but not Ch 5alpha-OOH, as commonly occurring components. The respective mean concentrations of Ch 7alpha-OOH and Ch 7beta-OOH were 2.5+/-1.6 and 5.4+/-3.5 pmol/mL blood.

Abstract
Lipofuscin is a yellowish brown fluorescent pigment which is sequestered within cytoplasmic granules during aging. To examine the contribution of protein oxidation to lipofuscin accumulation, we performed immunohistochemical detection of dityrosine, which is considered one of the specific markers for protein oxidation, in lipofuscin in the aged human brain using an antibody specific to dityrosine. By characterization using competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, the specificity of the antibody to dityrosine was confirmed. None of the other tyrosine-related compounds such as L-tyrosine, 3-nitrotyrosine, 3-chlorotyrosine, or 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine cross-reacted with the antibody. The anti-dityrosine antibody reacted with lipofuscin granules in the pyramidal neurons of the aged human brain. The results suggest that protein oxidation by free radicals and/or peroxidases may play an important role in lipofuscin accumulation.
