Publisher Summary

This chapter discusses the methods used for the qualitative and quantitative determination of aldehydes in biological systems. It focuses on 4-hydroxynonenal (HNE) and malondialdehyde (MDA). 4-Hydroxynonenal is produced as a major product of the peroxidative decomposition of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) and possesses cytotoxic, hepatotoxic, mutagenic, and genoroxic properties. Increased levels of HNE are found in plasma and various organs under conditions of oxidative stress. In addition to HNE, lipid peroxidation generates many other aldehydes that may also be of toxicological significance. Malondialdehyde is in many instances the most abundant individual aldehyde resulting from lipid peroxidation, and its determination by thiobarbituric acid (TBA) is one of the most common assays in lipid peroxidation studies. In vitro MDA can alter proteins, DNA, RNA, and many other biomolecules. Recently, it has been demonstrated with monoclonal antibodies that malonaldehyde-altered protein occurs in atheroma of hyperlipidemic rabbits.
