Linoleic acid radical catalyzed oxidation

In a system containing multivalent metal ions, such as Cu —Cu or Fe — Fe the hydroperoxides can readily decompose to produce both RO and ROO as the metal ions undergo oxidation-reduction.22 Fukuzaka and Fujii reported that ferrous ions could catalyze the formation of alkoxyl radicals from linoleic acid hydroperoxides during oxidation of food emulsions. [Pg.386]

FIGURE 7.1 Radical catalyzed oxidation of linoleic acid. X is used to represent a generalized radical sufficiently reactive to remove a bis-allylie hydrogen atom. YH is a generalized hydrogen source that can transfer H to -OO". The products in brackets are only observed when the intermediate products are rapidly trapped by H transfer. [Pg.137]

Belkner et al. [32] demonstrated that 15-LOX oxidized preferably LDL cholesterol esters. Even in the presence of free linoleic acid, cholesteryl linoleate continued to be a major LOX substrate. It was also found that the depletion of LDL from a-tocopherol has not prevented the LDL oxidation. This is of a special interest in connection with the role of a-tocopherol in LDL oxidation. As the majority of cholesteryl esters is normally buried in the core of a lipoprotein particle and cannot be directly oxidized by LOX, it has been suggested that LDL oxidation might be initiated by a-tocopheryl radical formed during the oxidation of a-tocopherol [33,34]. Correspondingly, it was concluded that the oxidation of LDL by soybean and recombinant human 15-LOXs may occur by two pathways (a) LDL-free fatty acids are oxidized enzymatically with the formation of a-tocopheryl radical, and (b) the a-tocopheryl-mediated oxidation of cholesteryl esters occurs via a nonenzymatic way. Pro and con proofs related to the prooxidant role of a-tocopherol were considered in Chapter 25 in connection with the study of nonenzymatic lipid oxidation and in Chapter 29 dedicated to antioxidants. It should be stressed that comparison of the possible effects of a-tocopherol and nitric oxide on LDL oxidation does not support importance of a-tocopherol prooxidant activity. It should be mentioned that the above data describing the activity of cholesteryl esters in LDL oxidation are in contradiction with some earlier results. Thus in 1988, Sparrow et al. [35] suggested that the 15-LOX-catalyzed oxidation of LDL is accelerated in the presence of phospholipase A2, i.e., the hydrolysis of cholesterol esters is an important step in LDL oxidation. [Pg.810]

Schnurr et al. [22] showed that rabbit 15-LOX oxidized beef heart submitochondrial particles to form phospholipid-bound hydroperoxy- and keto-polyenoic fatty acids and induced the oxidative modification of membrane proteins. It was also found that the total oxygen uptake significantly exceeded the formation of oxygenated polyenoic acids supposedly due to the formation of hydroxyl radicals by the reaction of ubiquinone with lipid 15-LOX-derived hydroperoxides. However, it is impossible to agree with this proposal because it is known for a long time [23] that quinones cannot catalyze the formation of hydroxyl radicals by the Fenton reaction. Oxidation of intracellular unsaturated acids (for example, linoleic and arachidonic acids) by lipoxygenases can be suppressed by fatty acid binding proteins [24]. [Pg.808]
