Abstract
This study investigated the in vitro protective effects of melatonin against oxidation of 1-palmitoyl-2-linoleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (PLPC) liposomes [(PLPC) = 250 μm] and low-density lipoproteins (LDL, 3 g/L total concentration) by hydroxyl radicals produced by water gamma radiolysis. Conjugated dienes (CD) and hydroperoxides from cholesteryl esters (CEOOH) and phospholipids (PCOOH) were measured as indices of lipid peroxidation. Protein (apoB) oxidation in LDL was assessed by carbonyl groups. Two LDL antioxidants (vitamin E and β-carotene) were monitored as a function of the radiation dose. Three concentrations of melatonin were studied in PLPC liposomes, i.e., 20, 50 and 100 μm, and one in LDL, i.e., 100 μm. Melatonin consumption was also followed up in both lipid models upon irradiation, together with the residual PLPC concentration in liposomes. In PLPC liposomes, scavenging of lipid-derived peroxyl radicals was not the only phenomenon to explain the protective properties of melatonin towards lipid peroxidation. Indeed, melatonin also reacted with hydroxyl radicals generated in aqueous phase, which led us to suggest that hydroxyl radicals reacted relatively slowly with PLPC. Melatonin was efficient in lowering lipid peroxidation in LDL, as shown by the decrease in the formation of CDs and in hydroperoxides. Moreover, melatonin clearly slowed radio-induced apolipoprotein B carbonylation and protected α-tocopherol and β-carotene in LDL.

Abstract
Melatonin (N-acetyl-5-hydroxytryptamine) is a pineal hormone widely known for its antioxidant properties, both in vivo and by direct capture of free radicals in vitro. Although some metabolites and oxidation products of melatonin have been identified, the molecular mechanism by which melatonin exerts its antioxidant properties has not been totally unravelled. This study investigated the reaction mechanism of oxidation of melatonin by radio-induced reactive oxygen species, generated by gamma radiolysis of water for aqueous solutions of melatonin (from 20 to 200 μm), in the presence or absence of molecular oxygen. The hydroxyl radical was found to be the unique species able to initiate the oxidation process, leading to three main products, e.g. N(1)-acetyl-N(2)-formyl-5-methoxykynurenin (AFMK), N(1)-acetyl-5-methoxykynurenin (AMK) and hydroxymelatonin (HO-MLT). The generation of AFMK and HO-MLT strongly depended on the presence of molecular oxygen in solution: AFMK was the major product in aerated solutions (84%), whereas HO-MLT was favoured in the absence of oxygen (86%). Concentrations of AMK remained quite low, and AMK was proposed to result from a chemical hydrolysis of AFMK in solution. A K-value of 1.1 × 10(-4) was calculated for this equilibrium. Both hydrogen peroxide and superoxide dismutase had no effect on the radio-induced oxidation of melatonin, in good accordance for the second case with the poor reactivity of the superoxide anion towards melatonin. Finally, a reaction mechanism was proposed for the oxidation of melatonin in vitro.

Abstract
An investigation of radiation-induced oxidation of aqueous bovine serum albumin (BSA) in the presence of linoleate (LH) at pH 10.5 has been carried out in order to better understand the respective oxidative processes involved in both lipid and protein phases. Solutions containing BSA (15 micromol L(-1)) and linoleate (15-600 micromol L(-1)) below the critical micellar concentration (cmc=2000 micromol L(-1)), have been irradiated by gamma-rays (137Cs) at radiation doses ranging from 10 to 400 Gy (dose rate 9.5 Gy min(-1)). It can be noticed that, in the absence of BSA, the main hydroperoxides formed from HO*-induced linoleate oxidation below the cmc, do not exhibit a conjugated dienic structure. This was also verified in the presence of BSA. Selected chemical markers of oxidation have been monitored: non-conjugated dienic hydroperoxides and conjugated dienes (without hydroperoxide function) for linoleate oxidation, and carbonyl groups for BSA oxidation. We have shown that for the lowest linoleate concentration (15 micromol L(-1)) in the presence of BSA (15 micromol L(-1)), the formation of conjugated dienes was not observed, meaning that LH was not exposed to HO* radicals attack. However, non-conjugated dienic lipid hydroperoxides were simultaneously detected, indicating that LH was secondarily oxidised by BSA oxidised species. Moreover, the oxidation of linoleate was found to be enhanced by the presence of BSA. For the highest linoleate concentration (600 micromol L(-1)), the expected protection of BSA by LH was not observed, even if LH monomers were responsible for the total scavenging of HO* radicals. In this latter case, the formation of non-conjugated dienic lipid hydroperoxides was lower than expected. Those results showed that BSA was not oxidised by the direct action of HO* radicals but was undergoing a secondary oxidation by non-dienic lipid hydroperoxides and/or lipid radical intermediates, coming from the HO*-induced linoleate oxidation.

Abstract
trans-Resveratrol (3,5,4'-trihydroxystilbene) is a natural polyphenolic compound that exhibits antioxidant properties. Our study aimed at studying the HO*-induced oxidation of resveratrol (100 micromol.L(-1)) in aerated aqueous solutions. Gamma radiolysis of water was used to generate HO*/O(2)(*-) free radicals (I = 10 Gy.min(-1), dose = 400 Gy). Oxidation products were identified by direct infusion mass spectrometry and high-performance liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry. For each product, structural elucidation was based on simple mass spectra, fragmentation spectra and deuterium/hydrogen exchange spectra; the comparison with mass spectra of synthetic products provided valuable information allowing the complete identification of the oxidation products. Four products resulting from the direct attack of HO* radicals towards resveratrol were identified respectively as piceatannol (trans-3,5,3',4'-tetrahydroxystilbene), 3,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid, 3,5-dihydroxybenzaldehyde and 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde.

Abstract
Archidonate peroxidation has been studied using HO* radicals radiolytically generated as initiators of this process. Irradiated aqueous solutions of arachidonate (between 0.01 and 25 mM at pH 10.5) have been characterised by means of conjugated dienes measurement (234 nm-absorption spectroscopy) and hydroperoxide detection (high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with a chemiluminescence detection). Radiation-induced peroxidation of arachidonate gives a different trend of peroxide products, depending on the degree of substrate interaction; endoperoxide and hydro-endoperoxide being favored at low concentrations (monomer/oligomer) and monohydroperoxide at high concentrations (micellar form). The experimental ratios G(Hydro2)/G(Hydro1) increase significantly only for arachidonate concentrations higher than 1 mM, i.e. in micellar medium. However, between 0.1 and 1?mM in arachidonate, G-values (for conjugated dienes, Hydro2 and Hydro1) remain nearly constant, meaning that the physical arrangement of the solution changes: Aggregation occurs. The experimental yields of conjugated dienes formation indicated that GDienes > GHO for [arachidonate]>2.5 mM, indicating that a chain propagation process had occurred. Radiolytic yields and structural identification (HPLC-MS analysis) of peroxidation products allowed us to propose a mechanism for the formation of both hydroperoxides.

Abstract
The hydrogen-deuterium exchange of protonated melatonin and its in vitro oxidation end-products have been examined by liquid chromatography coupled with ion-trap mass spectrometry. Specific H/D scrambling of protons in the C2 and C4 positions of the indole ring during gas-phase fragmentation process was observed for both melatonin and its oxidation products. Collision-induced dissociation spectra showed losses of variably deuterated NH(3), H(2)O and CH(3)CONH(2). In addition, a similar H/D scrambling behaviour was observed for the oxidation products, obtained from the opening of the indole ring by oxidative attack. Fragmentation pathways are proposed and H/D scrambling has been employed as a fingerprint, allowing identification of N(1)-acetyl-5-methoxykynurenin (AMK), N(1)-acetyl-N(2)-formyl-5-methoxykynurenin (AFMK), dehydro-AFMK and hydroxymelatonin as the oxidation products of melatonin in vitro.

Abstract
Cytochrome c (cyt c) is an electron carrier involved in the mitochondrial respiratory chain and a critical protein in apoptosis. The oxidation of cytochrome c can therefore be relevant biologically. We studied whether cytochrome c underwent the attack of reactive oxygen species (ROS) during ionizing irradiation-induced oxidative stress. ROS were generated via water radiolysis under ionizing radiation (IR) in vitro. Characterization of oxidation was performed by mass spectrometry, after tryptic digestion, and UV-visible spectrophotometry. When both hydroxyl and superoxide free radicals were generated during water radiolysis, only five tryptic peptides of cyt c were reproducibly identified as oxidized according to a relation that was dependent of the dose of ionizing radiation. The same behavior was observed when hydroxyl free radicals were specifically generated (N(2)O-saturated solutions). Specific oxidation of cyt c by superoxide free radicals was performed and has shown that only one oxidized peptide (MIFAGIK+16), corresponding to the oxidation of Met80 into methionine sulfoxide, exhibited a radiation dose-dependent formation. In addition, the enzymatic site of cytochrome c was sensitive to the attack of both superoxide and hydroxyl radicals as observed through the reduction of Fe(3+), the degradation of the protoporphyrin IX and the oxidative disruption of the Met80-Fe(3+) bond. Noteworthy, the latter has been involved in the conversion of cyt c to a peroxidase. Finally, Met80 appears as the most sensitive residue towards hydroxyl but also superoxide free radicals mediated oxidation.

Abstract
This study assessed the location of melatonin (N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine) and of a pinoline derivative (GWC22) [6-ethyl-1-(3-methoxyphenyl)-2-propyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-beta-carboline], when present in lipid assemblies such as linoleate micelles, phosphatidylcholine liposomes or low density lipoproteins (LDL). The efficiency of radical scavenging by these compounds is highly dependent on their partitioning between the lipidic and aqueous phases. We determined the proportion of melatonin or GWC22 in the aqueous and lipid phases of each system (concentrations of the antioxidants ranging between 3 x 10(-5) and 10(-4) m) by assaying melatonin or GWC22 by HPLC/UV detection, or by fluorescence for melatonin in micelles. Our results show that melatonin and GWC22 were preferentially located in the aqueous phase of micelles (68.4% and 59.0%, respectively), whereas only 30.5% of melatonin and 39.0% of GWC22 were found in the lipid phase. By contrast, in phosphatidylcholine liposomes, both compounds were essentially present in the lipid phase (73.5% for melatonin and 79.1% for GWC22, versus 25.9% and 19.5% in the aqueous phase, respectively). In the case of LDL, 99.9% of the melatonin added was found in the methanol/water extracting phase containing phospholipids, unesterified cholesterol and apolipoprotein B100. The partitioning of melatonin and GWC22 in linoleate micelles gave new insights on the marked protective effect of GWC22 towards radiation-induced lipid peroxidation and allowed us to determine more accurately the lower limit values of the reaction rate constants of the two molecules studied with lipid peroxyl radicals, i.e. k(LOO.+melatonin)) >or= 9.0 x 10(4)m(-1)s(-1) and k(LOO.+GWC22) >or= 3.5 x 10(5)m(-1)s(-1).

Abstract
This study aimed at investigating the in vitro protective effects of GWC22, a novel pinoline derivative [6-ethyl-1-(3-methoxyphenyl)-2-propyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-beta-carboline] chlorhydrate, against radiation-induced oxidation of linoleate initiated by hydroxyl radicals ((*)OH). Using linoleate micelles (10(-2) m) as lipid model, two indexes of peroxidation have been measured, i.e. conjugated dienes and hydroperoxides. Similar determinations were performed with melatonin in order to compare the protective effects of the two compounds. It was observed that, the higher the concentration of GWC22 (or melatonin) (3 x 10(-5) to 10(-4) m), the stronger the antioxidant ability. In these in vitro assays, GWC22 showed a better antioxidant effect than melatonin for a given antioxidant concentration. A reaction scheme has been proposed to explain the inhibitory effect of an antioxidant via the propagating steps of the lipid peroxidation. Indeed, we have suggested that melatonin and GWC22 may compete with the fatty acid to scavenge lipid peroxyl radicals (LOO(*)). We have estimated a lower limit for the LOO(*) rate constant for GWC22 (>/=1.4 x 10(5)/m/s) and for melatonin (>/=2.8 x 10(4)/m/s) assuming that the k-value of the propagating step in linoleate (LOO(*) + linoleate) was 1.4 x 10(3)/m/s. The difference of reactivity between melatonin and GWC22 in this model system is assumed to be related to their relative lipophilicity.

Abstract
Metformin (1,1-dimethylbiguanide) is an antihyperglycaemic drug used to normalize glucose concentrations in type 2 diabetes. Furthermore, antioxidant benefits have been reported in diabetic patients treated with metformin. This work was aimed at studying the scavenging capacity of this drug against reactive oxygen species (ROS) like *OH and (O2*-)-free radicals. ROS were produced by gamma radiolysis of water. The irradiated solutions of metformin were analyzed by UV/visible absorption spectrophotometry. It has been shown that hydroxyl free radicals react with metformin in a concentration-dependent way. The maximum scavenging activity was obtained for concentrations of metformin > or = 200 micromol.L(-1), under our experimental conditions. An estimated value of 10(7) L.mol(-1).s(-1) has been determined for the second order rate constant k(*OH + metformin). Superoxide free radicals and hydrogen peroxide do not initiate any oxidation on metformin in our in vitro experiments.

Abstract
Metformin is an antihyperglycemic drug that exhibits some antioxidant properties. HO*-induced oxidation of metformin was studied in aqueous solution, in both aerated and deaerated conditions. Gamma radiolysis of water was used to generate HO* free radicals, capable of initiating one-electron oxidation of metformin. Oxidation end-products were identified by direct infusion mass spectrometry (MS) and high-performance liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (HPLC/MSn): for every product, structure elucidation was based on its mass (simple mass spectra confirmed by HPLC/MS). In addition, fragmentation spectra (MS2, MS3 and MS4) and the determination of deuterium-hydrogen exchange sites provided valuable information allowing the complete identification of some of the end-products. At low radiation dose, four products were identified as primary ones, since they result from the direct attack of HO* radicals on metformin. These primary oxidation end-products were identified respectively as hydroperoxide of metformin, covalent dimer of metformin, methylbiguanide and 2-amino-4-imino-5-methyl-1,3,5-triazine. At high radiation dose, seven other products were identified as secondary ones, resulting from the HO*-induced oxidation of the primary end-products. A reaction scheme was postulated for the interpretation of the results.

Abstract
This study was designed to evaluate the effect of high concentrations of melatonin on the peroxidation of human low density lipoproteins (LDLs) initiated by O(2)(*-) and ethanol-derived peroxyl radicals (RO(2)(*)) from water gamma radiolysis in the presence of ethanol. LDL (3 g/l; total LDL concentration) was oxidized in the absence of melatonin or in its presence at three concentrations (50 x 10(-6), 100 x 10(-6) or 250 x 10(-6) mol/l) in ethanol. Radiolytic yields (i.e. number of mole consumed or produced per Joule) of the markers of lipid peroxidation were determined (i.e. decrease in the endogenous antioxidants alpha-tocopherol and beta-carotene, formation of conjugated dienes and of thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances [TBARS]). Melatonin decreased the yields of lipid peroxidation products and delayed the onset of the propagation phase for conjugated dienes and TBARS in a concentration-dependent manner. Nevertheless, melatonin did not protect endogenous alpha-tocopherol against peroxyl-induced oxidation (probably due to a lower scavenging capacity than that of alpha-tocopherol towards peroxyl radicals), but delayed the consumption of LDL endogenous beta-carotene and decreased its rate of disappearance. The effect of melatonin seemed to be the highest for a melatonin concentration of 250 x 10(-6) mol/l.

Abstract
The present study was aimed at determining the peroxidation of model membranes constituted of liposomes of 1-palmitoyl-2-linoleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (PLPC) submitted to hydroxyl free radicals (generated by γ-radiolysis) attack. Liposomes of PLPC were prepared using the sonication technique, and dynamic light-scattering (DLS) measurements allowed characterization of the liposomal dispersions. Irradiation damages in sonication-generated liposomes were assessed by monitoring several oxidation products, such as conjugated dienes (by means of UV–visible spectrophotometry) and hydroperoxides (using reverse phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) associated with chemiluminescence detection). It has been shown that three different families of hydroperoxides are formed: the first one (at low radiation doses) results from HO· attack on the linoleyl chain of PLPC, giving phosphatidylcholine hydroperoxides possessing a conjugated dienic structure; the two others (at high radiation doses) are obtained by the secondary HO· attack on the primary hydroperoxide family. The quantification of these products associated with the comparison of their radiation-dose-dependent formation has provided valuable information concerning the mechanisms of their formation. Analysis by HPLC – mass spectrometry has confirmed the presence of hydroperoxides and underlined various other products, like chain-shortened fragments and oxygenated derivatives of polyunsaturated sn-2 fatty acyl chain residues. Structural assignment proposals of some oxidation products have been proposed.Key words: radiolysis, phospholipids, peroxidation, hydroperoxides, liposomes.

Abstract
Oxidative modification of low-density lipoproteins (LDLs) is an important feature in the initiation and progression of atherosclerosis. Aminoguanidine (AMG), classically described as an inhibitor of advanced glycation end products, turned out to be also efficient in animal models as an antioxidant against lipid peroxidation. The originality of the present study was based on the simultaneous assessment of the oxidation of LDL lipid and protein moieties in order to characterize the molecular sites of AMG protection. Oxidation of the LDL lipid moiety was monitored by measuring conjugated dienes (CD) and hydroperoxide molecular species from cholesteryl esters (CEOOH) and phosphatidylcholines (PCOOH). LDL protein oxidative modifications were assessed by evaluating apoB carbonylation and fragmentation. The LDL oxidation was mediated by water gamma radiolysis, which has the advantage of being quantitative and highly selective with regard to the free radicals produced. Here, we reported that AMG resulted in a protection of LDLs against lipid peroxidation (both in the lag phase and in the propagation phase) and against apoB fragmentation in a concentration-dependent manner, due to the scavenging effect of AMG toward lipid peroxyl radicals. Paradoxically, AMG was poorly efficient against apoB carbonylation that began during the lag phase. We hypothesize that, even in the presence of AMG, a nonnegligible proportion of (*)OH radicals remained able to initiate oxidation of the LDL protein moiety, leading to apoB carbonylation.

Abstract
Metformin (dimethylbiguanide) is an antihyperglycemic agent used in type 2 diabetes. Beyond its action on glycemic control, metformin exhibits other intrinsic effects that could play a role in prevention against diabetes complications. Some studies thus reported an improvement in the antioxidant status in patients treated with metformin. This might be in part related to its property to limit formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) and to decrease the overproduction of free radicals in diabetic subjects. The aim of this study was to investigate the in vitro ability of metformin to modulate the action of reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated either by water gamma radiolysis or by stimulated human leukocytes. Our results showed that metformin at pharmacologically relevant concentrations was in vitro able to scavenge hydroxyl ((.)OH) but not superoxide (O(.-)(2)) free radicals and that hydrogen peroxide did not react with metformin. Nevertheless, when polymorphonuclear cells (PMN) are stimulated by phorbol myristate acetate (PMA), or above all by formyl methionine leucyl phenylalanine (fMLP), a systematic (although nonsignificant) decrease of the ROS-induced chimiluminescence (CL) was observed. These results suggest that metformin could directly scavenge ROS or indirectly act by modulating the intracellular production of superoxide anion, of which NADPH oxidase constitutes the major source. This could contribute to the additional benefits of metformin, especially those related to the improvement in the cardiovascular outcomes in diabetes.

Abstract
This study was designed to evaluate the protective effect of two melatonin related compounds towards low density lipoproteins (LDL) oxidation initiated in vitro either by defined free radicals [i.e. superoxide anion (O2*-) and ethanol-derived peroxyl radicals (RO(2)(*))] produced by gamma radiolysis or by copper ions. The compounds studied were N-[2-(5-methoxy-1H-indol-3-yl)ethyl]-3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxybenzamide (DTBHB) and (R,S)-1-(3-methoxyphenyl)-2-propyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-beta-carboline (GWC20) which is a pinoline derivative. Their effects were compared with those of melatonin at the same concentration (100 micromol/L). None of the three tested compounds protected endogenous LDL alpha-tocopherol from oxidation by RO(2)(*)/O(2)(*)- free radicals. By contrast, they all protected beta-carotene from the attack of these free radicals with GWC20 being the strongest protector. Moreover, melatonin and DTBHB partially inhibited the formation of products derived from lipid peroxidation (conjugated dienes and thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances or TBARS) while GWC20 totally abolished this production. As previously shown, melatonin (at the concentration used) inhibited copper-induced LDL oxidation by increasing 1.60-fold the lag phase duration of conjugated diene formation over the 8 hr of the experimental procedure, however, DTBHB and GWC20 were much more effective, because they totally prevented the initiation of the propagation phase of LDL oxidation. It would be interesting to test in vivo if DTBHB and GWC20 which exhibit a strong capacity to inhibit in vitro LDL oxidation would reduce or not atherosclerosis in animals susceptible to this pathology.

Abstract
Tamoxifen is the most widely used antiestrogen in the treatment of breast cancer. In this work, we have studied its antioxidant properties. We have investigated the ability of tamoxifen to scavenge, in vitro, ·OH and (or) HO·2 free radicals that are produced by water radiolysis. Aqueous solutions of tamoxifen of concentrations ranging between 10-5 and 2.5 × 10-5 M have been irradiated (γ 137Cs) in aerated acidic medium (H3PO4 10-3 M or HCOOH 10-1 M). The results show that tamoxifen reacts quantitatively with ·OH free radicals but does not react with HO·2 free radicals under our experimental conditions.Key words: tamoxifen, antioxidant, oxygenated free radicals, radiolysis.

Abstract
Aqueous solutions of linoleic acid were irradiated in air with γ-rays of 137Cs. High pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) was been used to separate and measure the production of hydroperoxides. The results obtained after reverse phase chromatography, associated with a microperoxydase for hydroperoxide detection, indicate the presence of two different hydroperoxides. One type of hydroperoxide was the major product obtained when the initial linoleic concentrations were below the critical micellar concentration (2 mM), and the second type was produced when the concentrations were above 2 mM. A further separation carried out on the second hydroperoxide by direct phase HPLC showed that it contains three compounds, mainly HPODE 9 and 13.Key words: linoleic acid, peroxidation, hydroperoxide, direct phase HPLC, reverse phase HPLC.

Abstract
This study was designed to evaluate the effect of ethanol on the peroxidation of human low-density lipoprotein (LDL) initiated by oxygen free radicals (O(2)(.-) and (.)OH in the absence of ethanol; O(2)(.-) and ethanol-derived peroxyl radicals, RO(2)(.), in the presence of ethanol) generated by gamma radiolysis. Initial radiolytic yields as determined by several markers of lipid peroxidation [i.e. decrease in endogenous antioxidants alpha-tocopherol and beta-carotene, formation of conjugated dienes and of thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS)] were determined in 3 g liter(-1) LDLs (expressed as total LDL concentration) in the absence of ethanol or its presence at six different concentrations (0.42-17 x 10(-2) mol liter(-1)). Ethanol acted as an antioxidant by decreasing the rate of consumption of LDL endogenous antioxidants and the yields of formation of lipid peroxidation products, and by delaying the onset of the propagation phase for conjugated dienes and TBARS. With regard to the different markers studied, except for alpha-tocopherol and beta-carotene consumption, the effect of ethanol did not appear to be dependent on its concentration. Indeed, (.)OH were scavenged by ethanol at the lowest ethanol concentration (0.42 x 10(-2) mol liter(-1)), leading to RO(2)(.). These RO(2)(.) resulted in lower radiation-induced yields related to endogenous antioxidant consumption or to formation of lipid peroxidation products (for example, approximately 10% of RO(2)(.) oxidized LDLs from TBARS). Thus, under our in vitro conditions, ethanol behaved as an antioxidant when added to the LDL solutions. This should be taken into account in the reported antioxidant activity of wine. This is also of interest when lipophilic compounds have to be added as ethanolic solutions to LDLs to evaluate in vitro their antioxidant activity toward LDL peroxidation.

Abstract
The radiolysis of water with heavy ions of high linear energy transfer (LET) (-dE/dx) is characterized, in deaerated medium, by the production of superoxide anions, the radiolytic yields of which increase with the LET. Radiobiological interest in such radical species comes from the oxidative stress which may be generated by their dismutation in O2 and H2O2 in anoxic medium (radiotherapy with heavy ions). A brief review of the measurements of superoxide free radicals in aqueous solution by indirect or direct methods is presented. Moreover, some experimental results obtained by pulse radiolysis with Ar18+ ions (TEL = 290 keV x microm(-1)), are described. The interpretation of the kinetics takes into account the superoxide absorbance and that of hydrogen peroxide, which is present at the millisecond time scale.

Abstract
This study was designed to evaluate the antioxidant effect of aminoguanidine toward human low-density lipoproteins (LDLs) initiated by oxygenated free radicals (*OH/O(2)*-) generated by gamma radiolysis. Initial radiolytic yields related to the markers of lipid peroxidation [i.e. decrease in endogenous alpha-tocopherol and beta-carotene, formation of thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS) and conjugated dienes] were determined in 3 g liter(-1) LDLs (expressed as total LDL concentration) in the absence and presence of 10 different concentrations of aminoguanidine (from 0.04 to 5 mmol liter(-1)). Fluorescence and relative electrophoretic mobility of oxidized LDLs were also studied as markers that indirectly reflect the attack of the protein moiety of LDLs (namely apolipoprotein B). Our data clearly showed the inhibitory effect of aminoguanidine on lipid peroxidation induced in LDLs by *OH/O(2)*- in a concentration-dependent manner. This effect probably resulted from a scavenging activity of aminoguanidine toward *OH. In contrast, aminoguanidine did not appear to react significantly with O(2)*-, which resulted in a poor residual lipid peroxidation. Our data led us to determine an optimum [aminoguanidine]/[LDL] ratio ranging from 250 to 500 to obtain the best in vitro protection of LDLs under our experimental conditions. It is also of great interest that aminoguanidine was able to protect endogenous alpha-tocopherol and beta-carotene of LDLs upon *OH/O(2)*(-)-induced oxidation.

Abstract
Peroxidation of unconjugated polyunsaturated fatty acids such as linolenic acid proceeds through a free radical chain mechanism and is accompanied by the formation of conjugated dienes such as hydroperoxides. In an investigation of radiation-induced oxidation of aqueous linolenate, we have measured two indexes of peroxidation: (1) conjugated dienes by means of absorption spectroscopy and (2) hydroperoxides by high-pressure liquid chromatography using detection of chemiluminescence. The experimental results indicate a strong effect of the concentration of linolenate on the yields of oxidized products. In addition, this work shows the quantitative production of two kinds of hydroperoxides. The ratio of these hydroperoxides is independent of the radiation dose but is dependent on the linolenate concentration. One hydroperoxide is formed predominantly below the critical micellar concentration (3 mM under our conditions), while the second is observed predominantly when micelles are formed in the aqueous medium. The influence of the composition of the medium on the nature of both hydroperoxides is discussed. [bj163]

Abstract
This study was designed to evaluate the antioxidant effect of probucol on peroxidation of low-density lipoproteins (LDLs) initiated by oxygenated free radicals (O2*-) and ethanol-derived peroxyl radicals (RO2*) generated by gamma radiolysis. Initial radiolytic yields related to the markers of lipid peroxidation [i.e. decrease in endogenous alpha-tocopherol, formation of thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS) and conjugated dienes] were determined as a function of LDL concentration (1.5 and 3 g l(-1), expressed as total LDL) and in the absence or the presence of probucol at different concentrations (2.3 x 10(-6), 3.5 x 10(-6), 9 x 10(-6) and 20.5 x 10(-6) mol l(-1)). Our results showed that probucol was able to decrease not only the yields of TBARS and conjugated dienes but also the levels of these peroxidation products obtained at high doses (2500 Gy) compared to LDLs without probucol. Under our conditions, probucol displayed an optimal antioxidant effect for an initial concentration in LDLs equivalent to 15 probucol molecules per LDL particle, which corresponded to a pharmacologically relevant concentration of probucol. Moreover, our data showed that probucol was unable to react with RO2* and thus did not protect LDL vitamin E from free radical attack. In addition, the scavenging capacity of probucol on O2*- appeared to be very poor, and probucol more likely reacted with LDL intermediate radical products. Finally, a very significant steady-state level of probucol remained in LDLs at high doses (up to 2500 Gy), equivalent to at least 40% of the initial concentration of probucol. This addressed the question of a mechanism for regeneration of probucol in LDLs. Our results as a whole suggested that the antioxidant effect of probucol in vivo could not be explained by its scavenging capacity with regard to RO2*/O2*- free radicals.

Abstract
Peroxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids such as linoleic acid in aqueous micellar solution proceeds through a free-radical chain mechanism and is accompanied by the formation of conjugated dienes, some in the form of hydroperoxides. In the course of an investigation of radiation-induced oxidation of aqueous sodium linoleate, we have measured three indexes of peroxidation-conjugated dienes, hydroperoxides and thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances-by means of absorption spectroscopy, high-pressure liquid chromatography and spectrofluorimetry, respectively. There are linear correlations between the amounts of conjugated dienes, hydroperoxides and thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances. The radiolytic yields have been determined from the radiation dose dependence of the three markers of peroxidation as a function of sodium linoleate concentration. The results obtained indicate a strong effect of the concentrations of oxygen and linoleate on the yields of the products. The yields at different lipid concentrations display a large increase in chain propagation length; this is discussed in terms of the effect of micellar size.
