The straight chain aliphatic hydrocarbons ethane and pentane have been advocated as
noninvasive markers of free-radical induced lipid peroxidation in humans. In in vitro studies …

Lipid peroxidation has gained increasing interest in recent years as one of the more
prominent features of free radical-induced damage in biology. The study of lipid peroxidation …

A method for the collection and measurement of low-molecular-weight volatile hydrocarbons
exhaled in human breath as a result of lipid peroxidation in vivo is described. Subjects …

Monitoring of ethane and pentane in breath as a noninvasive method to measure lipid
peroxidation is performed by an increasing number of laboratories. The alkanes are …

Volatile hydrocarbons such as ethane and n-pentane are known to originate from
peroxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids in membrane lipids and they are accepted as a …

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 …

This research measured lipid peroxidation products in rats of varying age by a new method.
Wistar male rats, 4, 12, 22 and 32 months old, were examined for lipid peroxidation in vivo …

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 …

Both pentane and isoprene are excreted in human breath. Although pentane is considered
an index of lipid peroxidation, the significance of isoprene is unknown. Having a similar …

We assessed oxidative stress in three different clinical conditions: smoking, human
immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, and inflammatory bowel disease, using breath …
