An analytical method for the measurement of hydrocarbon gases in the breath of rats is
described. The method was used to follow the expiration in rat breath of in vivo formed …

Pentane and ethane, which arise during lipid peroxidation in vivo, were measured by gas
chromatography in breath samples of rats fed for 8 weeks a vitamin E-deficient diet to which …

A study was undertaken to determine whether respiratory hexanal and acetone as well as
pentane and ethane could be measured as potential indices of lipid peroxidation in vivo …

Lipid peroxidation occurs in animal tissue when antioxidant protective systems are lacking.
Among the protective systems in animals are the biological antioxidant vitamin E and …

The concentrations of pentane and ethane in the expired breath of swimming rats were used
to determine the possible occurrence of lipid peroxidation caused by strenuous exercise …

The effects of in vitro addition of halogenated hydrocarbons on the susceptibility of various
rat tissues to lipid peroxidation and of iron overload and dietary vitamin E in the intact rat on …

Numerous studies in animals and humans provide evidence that ethane and pentane in
expired air are useful markers of in vivo lipid peroxidation. The measurement of breath …

Alkane production in exhaled air of rats has been studied as an index of lipid peroxidation in
vivo in these animals. The effect of feeding essential fatty acid-deficient rats varying levels of …

Vitamin E-deficient rats or rats subjected to other conditions thought to lead to peroxidation
of tissue lipids produce pentane and other hydrocarbon gases in the breath. However …

Starting at 21 days of age, groups of six rats each were fed a basal Torula yeast diet
supplemented with 0, 4% L-methionine and varying amounts of vitamin E as dl-alpha …
