| Résumé : | The peroxidation of unsaturated fatty acids, constituents of tissues, is one proposed mechanism of invivo oxidant damage. Several methods are described to quantify in vivo lipid peroxidation: malonaldehyde determination, measurement of conjugated dienes and the detection of volatile products in expired gases. The measurement of expired volatile hydrocarbons is a specific and non-invasive technique for monitoring in vivo lipid peroxidation. We describe here an improved method for detecting and quantifying volatile products of lipid peroxidation in the breath of healthy human volunteers. We also include a discussion of the obtained results and of the advantages and disadvantages of measuring expired hydrocarbon gases. © 1987. |
