Abstract
![]()
The understanding
of how exogenous chemicals (xenobiotics) are
metabolized, distributed, and eliminated is critical to determine
the impact of the chemical and its metabolites to the (human) organism.
This is part of the research and educational discipline ADMET (absorption,
distribution, metabolism, elimination, and toxicity). Here, we review
the work of Jan Commandeur and colleagues who have not only made a
significant impact in understanding of phase I and phase II metabolism
of several important compounds but also contributed greatly to the
development of experimental techniques for the study of xenobiotic
metabolism. Jan Commandeur’s work has covered a broad area
of research, such as the development of online screening methodologies,
the use of a combination of enzyme mutagenesis and molecular modeling
for structure–activity relationship (SAR) studies, and the
development of novel probe substrates. This work is the bedrock of
current activities and brings the field closer to personalized (cohort-based)
pharmacology, toxicology, and hazard/risk assessment.

1H-NMR Based Serum Metabolomics Study to Investigate Hepatoprotective Effect of Qin-Jiao on Carbon Tetrachloride-Induced Acute Hepatotoxicity in Rats. EVIDENCE-BASED COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE 2017; 2017:6091589.

Abstract
Gentiana macrophylla Radix, commonly known as Qin-Jiao (QJ), was recorded alone to treat jaundice in Compendium of Materia Medica and has been frequently prescribed for treatment of liver disease in China. However, the underlying mechanism remains unknown. In the present work, QJ of 1,2 g/kg or silybin of 40 mg/kg (positive control) was orally given to rats for 7 days to verify the protective effect on acute liver damage induced by tetrachloride (CCl4). Together with serum biochemistry and histopathological examination, 1H-NMR based metabolomics work was carried out to investigate the efficacy. It turned out that QJ of 2 g/kg exerted comparable protective effect with positive control and partially recovered disturbed metabolism by CCl4. Multivariate analysis was conducted and metabolites altered significantly among groups were assigned and discussed, including betaine, glucose, lactate, creatine, and LDL/VLDL. Metabolic regulations involved in QJ or silybin treatment were as follows: tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, synthesis of LDL/VLDL, and gluconeogenesis were enhanced, while betaine metabolism, glycolysis, creatine metabolism, synthesis of ketone bodies, amino acids metabolism, and β-oxidation of fatty acids were suppressed. For the first time hepatoprotective effect of QJ on acute liver damage was revealed by 1H-NMR based metabolomics, prompting understanding of the underlying mechanism.

Abstract
Concentrations of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) were quantified in river water and sediment, as well as in the liver and muscle tissues of Cyprinus carpio that were sampled four times in a year at three stations in the Büyük Menderes River (BMR). Potential biomarkers of possible cellular molecular damage, namely lipid peroxidation (LPO) degradation products, protein carbonyls (PCO) and DNA repair product 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), were analysed. All the targeted pollutants were measurable both in biotic and abiotic samples. Interestingly, the results suggested that there was recent organochlorine pesticide (OCP) input into the river water in the first two sampling periods in all stations in contrast to prohibition, while input of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and polybrominated diphenylethers (PBDEs) was not detected. Liver POP concentrations were higher than in muscle, as expected, and were found to decrease from the first to the fourth sampling period in all stations, except PBDEs. Levels of LPO degradation products in the liver and in muscle tissues decreased from the first to the fourth sampling period. This suggests that these markers reflect the lipid damage in respective tissues due to the tissue burden of targeted POPs. Protein carbonyls were the highest in the first sampling period, followed by a dramatic decrease in the second, and then a gradual increase towards the fourth sampling period in all stations. 8-OHdG levels were lower in Sarayköy station in the first sampling period. Among the measured biomarkers, only several LPO degradation products were significantly correlated with OCPs and PCBs in liver tissue.

Abstract
In this study, a metabolomics research approach was used to identify new tuberculosis (TB) markers from sputum, in an attempt to better characterise the disease as well as the metabolic response of the host to Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection. After GCxGC-TOFMS analyses, various multivariate and univariate statistical methods were implemented to identify those compounds best describing the variation between the TB-positive and TB-negative patient groups. The interpretation of these new metabolite markers led to a number of new hypotheses, including: 1) support of the previously proposed citramalate cycle in M. tuberculosis; 2) the interaction of this cycle with an up-regulated glyoxylate cycle during pulmonary M. tuberculosis infection; 3) the increased utilisation of fatty acids and glutamate as alternative carbon sources by M. tuberculosis during pulmonary infection; 4) an alternative mechanism by which the host produces hydrogen peroxide via glucose oxidation, in order to eliminate the bacterial infection; 5) inhibition of the ETC due to pronounced oxidative stress during an active TB disease state, resulting in increased concentrations of various neurotransmitters and other metabolites previously associated with an inborn error of metabolism (MADD/GA type II); and 6) elevated concentrations of neurotransmitters associated with a number of previously described symptoms of TB.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate whether lipid and protein oxidation products are elevated and correlated with routine clinical markers of hepatic and renal function in patients anesthetized with halothane, isoflurane, or sevoflurane. METHODS Urine and blood samples were collected from patient groups. Excretion of aldehydes, acetone, and o,o'-dityrosine was measured before and after anesthesia. Blood samples were analysed for clinical markers. RESULTS Urinary concentrations of aldehydes, acetone, o,o'-dityrosine and glucose were significantly increased after anesthesia in halothane and sevoflurane groups earlier than clinical markers. Significant correlations were found in sevoflurane group. CONCLUSION Lipid and protein oxidation contributes to subclinical sevoflurane nephrotoxicity. Oxidation products may serve as early biomarkers.

Abstract
Malondialdehyde (MDA) is an end-product of lipid peroxidation and a side product of thromboxane A2 synthesis. Moreover, it is not only a frequently measured biomarker of oxidative stress, but its high reactivity and toxicity underline the fact that this molecule is more than “just” a biomarker. Additionally, MDA was proven to be a mutagenic substance. Having said this, it is evident that there is a major interest in the highly selective and sensitive analysis of this molecule in various matrices. In this review, we will provide a brief overview of the most recent developments and techniques for the liquid chromatography (LC) and gas chromatography (GC)-based analysis of MDA in different matrices. While the 2-thiobarbituric acid assay still is the most prominent methodology for determining MDA, several advanced techniques have evolved, including GC–MS(MS), LC–MS(MS) as well as several derivatization-based strategies.

Abstract
The objective of the present study was to evaluate a comprehensive set of urinary biomarkers for oxidative damage to lipids, proteins and DNA, in man. Eighteen moderately trained males (mean age 24.6+/-0.7) exercised 60min at 70% of maximal O2 uptake on a cycle ergometer. Urine fractions for 12 h were collected 1 day before, and for 3 consecutive days after exercise. As biomarkers of lipid peroxidation, 8 aldehydes (i.e. propanal, butanal, pentanal, hexanal, heptanal, octanal, nonanal and malondialdehyde-MDA)and acetone were analyzed in urines by gas chromatography with electron capture detection (GC-ECD). As a biomarker of protein oxidation, o,o'-dityrosine was analyzed in urine samples by a recently developed isotope dilution HPLC-atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI)-tandem-mass spectrometry (HPLC-APCI-MS/MS) methodology. As a biomarker of oxidative DNA damage, urinary excretion of 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) was measured by an ELISA method. On the day of exercise, significant increases were observed in urinary excretions of acetone (p < 0.025, n = 18) and butanal (p < 0.01, n = 18) in the 12h daytime fractions compared to the daytime fraction before exercise. The urinary acetone excretion was also significantly (p < 0.05) increased on the 1st day after exercise. Octanal and nonanal were increased in the daytime urine fraction on the 2nd day after exercise. However, these increases were of borderline significance (p = 0.09 and p = 0.07, respectively). Significantly elevated urinary o,o'-dityrosine amounts were observed in the daytime fraction on the day of exercise (p < 0.025) and on the 1st day after exercise (p = 0.07) compared to the before exercise daytime fraction. Excretion of urinary 8-OHdG was statistically significantly increased in the daytime fractions on the day of exercise (p = 0.07) and on the 1st day after exercise (p < 0.025) compared to before exercise daytime fraction. Increases in urinary excretions of acetone, propanal, pentanal, MDA and 8-OHdG significantly correlated with training status (hours of exercise/week) of the volunteers, while o,o'-dityrosine did not. To our knowledge, the present study is the first to evaluate a multi-parameter non-invasive biomarker set for damage to three main cellular targets of ROS. It shows that 1 h of exercise may already induce oxidative damage in moderately trained individuals and that the chosen urinary biomarkers are sensitive enough to monitor such damage.

Abstract
Although the emission of acetaldehyde from plants into the atmosphere following biotic and abiotic stresses may significantly impact air quality and climate, its metabolic origin(s) remains uncertain. We investigated the pathway(s) responsible for the production of acetaldehyde in plants by studying variations in the stable carbon isotope composition of acetaldehyde emitted during leaf anoxia or following mechanical stress. Under an anoxic environment, C3 leaves produced acetaldehyde during ethanolic fermentation with a similar carbon isotopic composition to C3 bulk biomass. In contrast, the initial emission burst following mechanical wounding was 5-12 per thousand more depleted in (13)C than emissions under anoxia. Due to a large kinetic isotope effect during pyruvate decarboxylation catalysed by pyruvate dehydrogenase, acetyl-CoA and its biosynthetic products such as fatty acids are also depleted in (13)C relative to bulk biomass. It is well known that leaf wounding stimulates the release of large quantities of fatty acids from membranes, as well as the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). We suggest that, following leaf wounding, acetaldehyde depleted in (13)C is produced from fatty acid peroxidation reactions initiated by the accumulation of ROS. However, a variety of other pathways could also explain our results, including the conversion of acetyl-CoA to acetaldehyde by the esterase activity of aldehyde dehydrogenase.

Abstract
Under the 2005 U.S. EPA Guidelines for Carcinogen Risk Assessment (1), evaluations of carcinogens rely on mode of action data to better inform dose response assessments. A reassessment of carbon tetrachloride, a model hepatotoxicant and carcinogen, provides an opportunity to incorporate into the assessment biologically relevant mode of action data on its carcinogenesis. Mechanistic studies provide evidence that metabolism of carbon tetrachloride via CYP2E1 to highly reactive free radical metabolites plays a critical role in the postulated mode of action. The primary metabolites, trichloromethyl and trichloromethyl peroxy free radicals, are highly reactive and are capable of covalently binding locally to cellular macromolecules, with preference for fatty acids from membrane phospholipids. The free radicals initiate lipid peroxidation by attacking polyunsaturated fatty acids in membranes, setting off a free radical chain reaction sequence. Lipid peroxidation is known to cause membrane disruption, resulting in the loss of membrane integrity and leakage of microsomal enzymes. By-products of lipid peroxidation include reactive aldehydes that can form protein and DNA adducts and may contribute to hepatotoxicity and carcinogenicity, respectively. Natural antioxidants, including glutathione, are capable of quenching the lipid peroxidation reaction. When glutathione and other antioxidants are depleted, however, opportunities for lipid peroxidation are enhanced. Weakened cellular membranes allow sufficient leakage of calcium into the cytosol to disrupt intracellular calcium homeostasis. High calcium levels in the cytosol activate calcium-dependent proteases and phospholipases that further increase the breakdown of the membranes. Similarly, the increase in intracellular calcium can activate endonucleases that can cause chromosomal damage and also contribute to cell death. Sustained cell regeneration and proliferation following cell death may increase the likelihood of unrepaired spontaneous, lipid peroxidation- or endonuclease-derived mutations that can lead to cancer. Based on this body of scientific evidence, doses that do not cause sustained cytotoxicity and regenerative cell proliferation would subsequently be protective of liver tumors if this is the primary mode of action. To fulfill the mode of action framework, additional research may be necessary to determine alternative mode(s) of action for liver tumors formed via carbon tetrachloride exposure.

Abstract
Biomarkers are essential tools in monitoring studies, which include environmental monitoring, biological monitoring, biological effect monitoring, and health surveillance, as well as drug development processes. Their discovery, validation, and analysis require highly sensitive and selective analytical technologies. In this regard, gas and liquid chromatography, mass spectrometry, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy have facilitated great achievements in all these areas. In addition and closely related to biomarkers, the ongoing developments in these techniques promise a better understanding of the nature and mechanisms of toxic effects originating from various chemical, biological, or physical sources. This Review compiles studies performed on selected biomarkers with respect to both method development and application. Section 1 summarizes the concept of biomarkers; their application in various industrial/occupational, agricultural, drug developmental, and medical/clinical platforms. This section also focuses on biotransformation studies in close relation to biomarker discovery and validation, and on major techniques utilized in this area. In Section 2, biotransformation of volatile anesthetics in humans with a focus on mercapturic acid derivatives as potential biomarkers of effect is reviewed. The use of GC-ECD, GC/MS, and 19F-NMR in these studies is described. Section 3 focuses on the analysis of aldehydic lipid peroxidation degradation products by GC-ECD in mammalian cells in which oxidative stress induced chemically, and in humans after various challenges; anesthetic exposure, ischemia-reperfusion, and controlled endurance exercise. In Section 4, method development for protein and DNA oxidation products by LC-tandem MS and its application in mammalian cells and in humans are summarized. Possibilities, limitations, and future perspectives are discussed in Section 5.

Abstract
We recently developed two biomarker sets for oxidative damage: one for determination of lipid peroxidation (LPO) degradation products; acetaldehyde, propanal, butanal, pentanal, hexanal, heptanal, octanal, nonanal, malondialdehyde and acetone, by a gas chromatography-electron capture detection method, and the other for protein oxidation products such as o,o'-dityrosine, by an isotope dilution high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method. In the present study, we explored the possibility to utilize these biomarkers for determining the oxidative damage in liver mammalian cells in vitro. Two different treatments were chosen for inducing oxidative stress in Chinese Hamster ovary cells: menadione and copper plus hydrogen peroxide (Cu2+/H2O2). Cells were incubated with the model compounds in the presence or absence of vitamin E and C, and cytotoxicity was evaluated by a nuclear-dye method. Results were compared to two fluorescent probes, H2DCF-DA and C11 -BODIPY581/591, which have been used for determining the formation of free radicals in the cells. From ten LPO degradation products, eight were increased significantly following incubation with menadione in cell lysate or incubation media. Menadione-induced oxidative stress was also confirmed by oxidation of fluorescent probes. However, no increased formation of protein oxidation products was observed. Vitamin E and C did not diminish the formation of LPO degradation products that were increased by menadione. Although Cu2+/H2O2 did not induce oxidation of fluorescent probes, it induced formation of six out of ten LPO degradation products. Vitamin E and C did not diminish the formation of LPO degradation products; vitamin C even substantially increased the formation of acetaldehyde and propanal, which is in line with its reported prooxidant action under certain conditions. Vitamin C also caused two-fold increase in Cu2+/H2O2-induced o,o'-dityrosine formation when applied simultaneously. In conclusion, our present results show that the LPO biomarker set can be used for evaluation of oxidant capacity and the toxic potential of various chemicals in an in vitro cell model. These biomarkers might even be more sensitive than measuring protein oxidation products or oxidation of fluorescent probes.

ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2006; 64:178-89. [PMID: 16406578 DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2005.03.013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1063] [Impact Index Per Article: 59.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/08/2004] [Revised: 03/01/2005] [Accepted: 03/12/2005] [Indexed: 05/06/2023]
Abstract
The potential of oxygen free radicals and other reactive oxygen species (ROS) to damage tissues and cellular components, called oxidative stress, in biological systems has become a topic of significant interest for environmental toxicology studies. The balance between prooxidant endogenous and exogenous factors (i.e., environmental pollutants) and antioxidant defenses (enzymatic and nonenzymatic) in biological systems can be used to assess toxic effects under stressful environmental conditions, especially oxidative damage induced by different classes of chemical pollutants. The role of these antioxidant systems and their sensitivity can be of great importance in environmental toxicology studies. In the past decade, numerous studies on the effects of oxidative stress caused by some environmental pollutants in terrestrial and aquatic species were published. Increased numbers of agricultural and industrial chemicals are entering the aquatic environment and being taken up into tissues of aquatic organisms. Transition metals, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, organochlorine and organophosphate pesticides, polychlorinated biphenyls, dioxins, and other xenobiotics play important roles in the mechanistic aspects of oxidative damage. Such a diverse array of pollutants stimulate a variety of toxicity mechanisms, such as oxidative damage to membrane lipids, DNA, and proteins and changes to antioxidant enzymes. Although there are considerable gaps in our knowledge of cellular damage, response mechanisms, repair processes, and disease etiology in biological systems, free radical reactions and the production of toxic ROS are known to be responsible for a variety of oxidative damages leading to adverse health effects and diseases. In the past decade, mammalian species were used as models for the study of molecular biomarkers of oxidative stress caused by environmental pollutants to elucidate the mechanisms underlying cellular oxidative damage and to study the adverse effects of some environmental pollutants with oxidative potential in chronic exposure and/or sublethal concentrations. This review summarizes current knowledge and advances in the understanding of such oxidative processes in biological systems. This knowledge is extended to specific applications in aquatic organisms because of their sensitivity to oxidative pollutants, their filtration capacity, and their potential for environmental toxicology studies.

Abstract
A well-defined relationship has to exist between substance concentrations in blood and in breath if blood-borne volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are to be used as breath markers of disease or health. In this study, the impact of inspired substances on this relationship was investigated systematically. VOCs were determined in inspired and expired air and in arterial and mixed venous blood of 46 mechanically ventilated patients by means of SPME, GC/MS. Mean inspired concentrations were 25% of expired concentrations for pentane, 7.5% for acetone, 0.7% for isoprene and 0.4% for isoflurane. Only if inspired concentrations were <5% did substance disappearance rates from blood and exhalation rates correlate well. Exhaled substance concentrations depended on venous and inspired concentrations. Patients with sepsis had higher n-pentane and lower acetone concentrations in mixed venous blood than patients without sepsis (2.27 (0.37-8.70) versus 0.65 (0.33-1.48) nmol L-1 and 69 (22-99) versus 18 (6.7-56) micromol L-1). n-Pentane and acetone concentrations in breath showed no differences between the patient groups, regardless whether or not expired concentrations were corrected for inspired concentrations. In mechanically ventilated patients, concentration profiles of volatile substances in breath may considerably deviate from profiles in blood depending on the relative amount of inspired concentrations. A simple correction for inspired substance concentrations was not possible. Hence, substances having inspired concentrations>5% of expired concentrations should not be used as breath markers in these patients without knowledge of concentrations in blood and breath.

Abstract
Peroxidation of lipids produces low-molecular-weight carbonyl compounds, which are reactive with biological nucleophiles. The analysis of these compounds is often difficult. A multicomponent method for the determination of 11 of them in biological samples is reported. The samples are subjected to a pretreatment-derivatization procedure followed by gas chromatographic analysis with either electron-capture detection (ECD) or mass-selective detection (MSD) in the selected-ion monitoring mode. The procedure involves derivatization of the analyte with 2,4,6-trichlorophenylhydrazine, extraction with n-hexane, and separation of the derivatization products on a nonpolar gas chromatographic column. The concentration of the derivatization reagent, pH, reaction time, temperature, and presence of extraneous ions were investigated to determine the optimal derivatization conditions. Under these conditions, the method allows for the selective detection of low-molecular-weight carbonyl compounds at femtomole levels in several biological materials such as plasma, urine, and bovine serum albumin without interferences. The limits of detection were in the ranges 0.01-0.2 microM for ECD and 0.15-1.5 microM for MSD. The mean procedural recoveries obtained during the method validation were within the range 85-95% and the intra- and interassay standard deviations do not exceed 4.6 and 6.1%, respectively.

Abstract
In the current work, a simple, rapid, accurate and inexpensive method was developed for the determination of acetone in human blood. The proposed method is based on derivatization with O-(2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorobenzyl)hydroxylamine hydrochloride (PFBHA), followed by headspace liquid-phase microextraction (HS-LPME) and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). In the present method, acetone in blood samples was derivatized with PFBHA and acetone oxime formed in several seconds. The formed oxime was enriched by HS-LPME using the organic solvent film (OSF) formed in a microsyringe barrel as extraction interface. Finally, the enriched oxime was analyzed by GC/MS in electron ionization (EI) mode. HS-LPME parameters including solvent, syringe plunger withdrawal rate, sampling volume, and extraction cycle were optimized and the method reproducibility, linearity, recovery and detection limit were studied. The proposed method was applied to determination of acetone in diabetes blood and normal blood. It has been shown that derivatization with HS-LPME and GC/MS is an alternative method for determination of the diabetes biomarker, acetone, in blood samples.

Abstract
We developed an isotope dilution HPLC-atmospheric pressure chemical ionization-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-APCI-MS/MS) method for the simultaneous determination of p-tyrosine, phenylalanine, o,o'-dityrosine, m-tyrosine, o-tyrosine, 3-chlorotyrosine and 3-nitrotyrosine and 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) that requires no extensive sample pre-treatment. p-[(2)H(4)]Tyrosine and o,o'-[(2)H(6)]dityrosine were used as internal standards. Calibration curves of the method were linear (r(2)=0.990-0.999) over a concentration range of 0.03-10 microM for o-tyrosine; 0.04-10 microM for 3-nitrotyrosine and 3-chlorotyrosine; 0.05-10 microM for o,o'-dityrosine; and for m-tyrosine; 1.0-100 microM for p-tyrosine and for phenylalanine; and 0.01-10 microM for 8-OHdG. The detection limits were from 0.025 to 0.05 microM for the tyrosine derivatives; 0.01 microM for 8-OHdG; and 0.5 microM for p-tyrosine and for phenylalanine, respectively. Within-day coefficients of variation (CV) for spiked human urine samples ranged from 2.7 to 7.0%, except for 8-OHdG (13.7%). Between-day variations ranged from 7.9 to 13.0%, except for o-tyrosine (CV = 18.2%), and for 8-OHdG (CV = 24.7%). The background levels of p-tyrosine, phenylalanine, o,o'-dityrosine, and o-tyrosine in morning urine of eight healthy volunteers were 3890+/-590, 3420+/-730, 5.8+/-0.3, and 9.2+/-1.5 micromol/mol creatinine, respectively. Using the present HPLC-APCI-MS/MS method, the urinary background levels of m-tyrosine, 3-chlorotyrosine, 3-nitrotyrosine and 8-OHdG were below the limit of detection.

Abstract
A previously described derivatization method using trichlorophenylhydrazine was developed for the estimation of malonaldehyde measured by gas-chromatography (GC) with electron-capture detection. The precision and reliability of the procedure are improved here by the use of methylmalonaldehyde as internal standard and by the introduction of a diverter valve at the end of the capillary column to protect the electron-capture detector, respectively. The method was applied to determine malonaldehyde content in bovine plasma samples.

Abstract
In this review, a wide array of bioaccumulation markers and biomarkers, used to demonstrate exposure to and effects of environmental contaminants, has been discussed in relation to their feasibility in environmental risk assessment (ERA). Fish bioaccumulation markers may be applied in order to elucidate the aquatic behavior of environmental contaminants, as bioconcentrators to identify certain substances with low water levels and to assess exposure of aquatic organisms. Since it is virtually impossible to predict the fate of xenobiotic substances with simple partitioning models, the complexity of bioaccumulation should be considered, including toxicokinetics, metabolism, biota-sediment accumulation factors (BSAFs), organ-specific bioaccumulation and bound residues. Since it remains hard to accurately predict bioaccumulation in fish, even with highly sophisticated models, analyses of tissue levels are required. The most promising fish bioaccumulation markers are body burdens of persistent organic pollutants, like PCBs and DDTs. Since PCDD and PCDF levels in fish tissues are very low as compared with the sediment levels, their value as bioaccumulation markers remains questionable. Easily biodegradable compounds, such as PAHs and chlorinated phenols, do not tend to accumulate in fish tissues in quantities that reflect the exposure. Semipermeable membrane devices (SPMDs) have been successfully used to mimic bioaccumulation of hydrophobic organic substances in aquatic organisms. In order to assess exposure to or effects of environmental pollutants on aquatic ecosystems, the following suite of fish biomarkers may be examined: biotransformation enzymes (phase I and II), oxidative stress parameters, biotransformation products, stress proteins, metallothioneins (MTs), MXR proteins, hematological parameters, immunological parameters, reproductive and endocrine parameters, genotoxic parameters, neuromuscular parameters, physiological, histological and morphological parameters. All fish biomarkers are evaluated for their potential use in ERA programs, based upon six criteria that have been proposed in the present paper. This evaluation demonstrates that phase I enzymes (e.g. hepatic EROD and CYP1A), biotransformation products (e.g. biliary PAH metabolites), reproductive parameters (e.g. plasma VTG) and genotoxic parameters (e.g. hepatic DNA adducts) are currently the most valuable fish biomarkers for ERA. The use of biomonitoring methods in the control strategies for chemical pollution has several advantages over chemical monitoring. Many of the biological measurements form the only way of integrating effects on a large number of individual and interactive processes in aquatic organisms. Moreover, biological and biochemical effects may link the bioavailability of the compounds of interest with their concentration at target organs and intrinsic toxicity. The limitations of biomonitoring, such as confounding factors that are not related to pollution, should be carefully considered when interpreting biomarker data. Based upon this overview there is little doubt that measurements of bioaccumulation and biomarker responses in fish from contaminated sites offer great promises for providing information that can contribute to environmental monitoring programs designed for various aspects of ERA.

Abstract
A gas chromatographic method is described for the quantification of free and total malondialdehyde (MDA) in biological materials. The procedure involves derivatization of the analyte with 2,4,6-trichlorophenylhydrazine, extraction with n-hexane, and separation of the cyclic derivatization product on a OV-5 gas chromatographic column. Concentration of the derivatization reagent, pH, reaction time, and temperature were investigated to determine the optimal derivatization conditions. Under these conditions, the method allows for the selective detection of free and total MDA at femtomole levels in several biological materials without any interferences. The procedure yields relative standard deviation values for the intra- and interassays in the range 3.3 and 3.9%, respectively, for the electron-capture and mass-selective (SIM mode) detection systems. Recoveries of MDA from spiked matrices reached 96%. The present method offers the advantage of the alternative use of either electron-capture or mass-selective detection. Furthermore it avoids overestimation of MDA since it employs mild conditions for sample processing and there is no need for preventing protein separation for the assessment of free MDA.

Abstract
Methyl malondialdehyde (Me-MDA) is suggested as an internal standard for the determination of the lipid peroxidation product, malondialdehyde (MDA). A procedure for synthesising the Me-MDA sodium salt is described in detail. The purity and identity of the synthesised Me-MDA have been confirmed using nuclear magnetic resonance and UV spectroscopy, and by micellar electrokinetic chromatography. The applicability of Me-MDA as an internal standard has been demonstrated for rat brain homogenate samples. These samples were purified solely through ultrafiltration. The preferred analytical technique was capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) with UV detection at 267 nm. The limits of detection (3 S/N) for the CZE separations of Me-MDA and MDA were 0.5 and 0.2 microM, respectively, and the total analysis time was approximately 10 min. Details of separations are also presented using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with UV detection at 245 nm, and gas chromatography, together with either electron capture or mass spectrometric detection. The GC separations require derivatisation of MDA and Me-MDA with pentafluorophenylhydrazine while the CZE and HPLC separations can be performed on the native molecules.

Abstract
A method for the determination of carbonyl compounds, either directly from gaseous phase or following a volatilization from liquid or solid samples after trapping on Tenax TA is presented. Following solvent desorption, the carbonyls are derivatized using O-(2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorobenzyl)hydroxylamine. The reaction is accomplished in a microwave oven using closed vessels to minimize reaction time compared to conventional methodology. The solvent for the chemical reaction was selected according to the requirements of microwave energy interaction and solubility. After gas chromatographic separation of the corresponding oximes, they are detected using electron impact mass spectrometry in single ion monitoring mode. Quantification is carried out using internal standardization with 3-fluorobenzaldehyde, resulting in limits of detection in the ppm range following the calibration graph method. The optimized conditions provide for good recoveries and fast reaction rates for the volatile carbonyls studied so far.

Abstract
The urinary excretion of seven aldehydes, acetone, coproporphyrin III and 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OH-dG) as non-invasive biomarkers of oxidative damage was measured in rats treated with diquat or N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA), two compounds causing hepatic damage by different mechanisms. Furthermore, the effect of co-administration of the aldehyde dehydrogenase inhibitor, calcium carbimide (CC) on the urinary excretion of the aldehydes was determined. Slight hepatotoxicity was found at the end of the experiment after treatment with NDMA (0.5, 4 and 8 mg/kg at t = 0, 48 and 96 h, respectively) or diquat (6.8 and 13.6 mg/kg at t = 0 and 48 h, respectively). In diquat treated rats slight nephrotoxicity was also found. Urinary excretion of aldehydes, acetone and coproporphyrin III remained largely unchanged in rats treated with NDMA. In the rats treated with diquat, the urinary excretion of several aldehydes was several-fold increased. An increase was also found in the urinary excretion of 8-OH-dG after the second dose of diquat. Treatment of rats with CC did not significantly influence the urinary excretion of aldehydes in control and NDMA rats. However, in rats treated with diquat, CC caused a potentiating effect on the excretion of acetaldehyde, hexanal and malondialdehyde (MDA), indicating that oxidation of aldehydes to carbonylic acids by aldehyde dehydrogenases (ALDHs) might be an important route of metabolism of aldehydes. In conclusion, increased urinary excretion of various aldehydes, acetone, coproporphyrin III and 8-OH-dG was observed after administration of diquat, probably reflecting oxidative damage induced by this compound. No such increases were found after NDMA administration, which is consistent with a different toxicity mechanism for NDMA. Therefore, excretion of aldehydes, acetone, coproporphyrin III and 8-OH-dG might be used as easily accessible urinary biomarkers of free radical damage.

Abstract
A method to determine free and total (free and bound) malondialdehyde (MDA) in fresh human plasma, or in rat liver microsomes, using selected ion monitoring (SIM) gas chromatography-mass spectrometry in the electron impact mode was set up. The dideuterated internal standard, 3-hydroxy[1, 3-2H2]-2-propenal (dMDA), was added to the biological samples before their analytical manipulation. To detect free MDA the samples were reacted under mild conditions (25 degreesC, pH 4.0, 30 min) with phenylhydrazine (PH), affording 1-phenyl-1H-pyrazole and its 3, 5-dideuterated isotopomer. For the evaluation of total MDA level the plasma or microsomes were subjected, before the derivatization step, to hydrolysis in the presence of 1 M NaOH under preestablished conditions. This method offers several advantages such specificity, precision (within-day CV 2.0%, between-day CV 2.1%), linearity (0. 01-15 microM) and high sensitivity (5 pmol injected). The recovery of known added MDA amounts from plasma and microsomes, hydrolyzed or not, accounted for 98 +/- 0.6%. The free MDA levels found in the plasma and microsomes were 0.14 +/- 0.03 microM and 0.048 +/- 0.006 nmol/mg protein, respectively. The total MDA levels were 1.3 +/- 0. 07 microM in plasma and 0.36 +/- 0.04 nmol/mg protein in the microsomes.

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
Carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) is a model compound for inducing free radical damage in liver. In this study 10 biomarkers in rats treated i.p. with three different single doses of CCl4 (0.25, 0.50, and 1.00 ml/kg body wt) were measured dose and time dependently and compared to evaluate these urinary products as noninvasive biomarkers for radical damage. Eight degradation products of lipid peroxides, namely, formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, acetone, propanal, butanal, pentanal, hexanal, and malondialdehyde (MDA), 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OH-dG) and coproporphyrin III were measured in this study. As general measures of toxicity, several clinical chemical parameters (n = 12) and histopathological damage were determined. A dose-dependent increase in both the clinical parameters and the lipid degradation products was found. Increases in lipid degradation products were statistically significant at doses of 0.5 and 1 ml/kg CCl4. An increase in these products was already found in the first 12 h after exposure. At the lowest dose, 0.25 ml/kg CCl4, acetaldehyde and propanal already showed a statistically significant increase as well. No change in the urinary levels of 8-OH-dG could be found in this study and a decrease in the urinary excretion of coproporphyrin III was found. It is concluded that 8-OH-dG and coproporphyrin III are not useful biomarkers for radical damage induced by CCl4. Lipid degradation products, however, are promising noninvasive biomarkers for in vivo radical damage, although the precise specificity of these biomarkers for damage induced by radicals needs to be further investigated.
