Studies carried out with complete cells in vivo, cell membranes and other cell fractions point to the selective oxidation of phosphatidylserine (26) to a hydroperoxide (PS-OOH) on oxidative stress caused by toxic agents such as H2O2, t-BuOOH and cumyl hydroperoxide (27). Formation of PS-OOH is observed during apoptosis. These phenomena are important because of the cytotoxic effects of various peroxides used in commercial products coming into direct contact with the human body, as is the case of epidermal keratinocytes in contact with cosmetic formulations" ". The toxic effects of f-BuOOH are associated with vasoconstriction and damage to the vascular smooth muscles ". Global determination methods for primary lipid oxidation products are discussed in Section IV.B. 

The hydroperoxides of various phospholipids, such as phosphatidylcholine (PC— OOH, 155), phosphatidylserine (PS—OOH), phosphatidylethanolamine (PE—OOH), phos-phatidylinositol (PI—OOH) and cardiolipin (CL—OOH), can be determined by HPLC-ELD on a polar LC—NH2 column, using as mobile phase a MeOH//-PrOH/40 mM aqueous NaH2P04 mixture (61 30 9 by volume). ELD is by the hanging Hg drop electrode method set at —150 mV vs. SCSE. The relative mobility for the given chromatographic system is shown in equation 68, which is almost a reversal of the order shown in equation 63 for HPTLC. The LOD varies from about 0.5 to 1.0 pmol, depending on the class of phospholipid hydroperoxide . ...
