Oxidized LDL exhibits cytotoxic activity towards endothelial cells, which is thought to be mediated by the products derived also from cholesterol oxidation, mainly involving the B-ring. By LC-PB-EI-MS and EI-MS/MS analysis, we have identified 3 beta-hydroxy-5 alpha-cholest-6-ene-5-hydroperoxide among the cholesterol oxidation products in LDL incubated with micromolar concentrations of copper ions.

Abstract

Oxidized LDL exhibits cytotoxic activity towards endothelial cells, which is thought to be mediated by the products derived also from cholesterol oxidation, mainly involving the B-ring. By LC-PB-EI-MS and EI-MS/MS analysis, we have identified 3 beta-hydroxy-5 alpha-cholest-6-ene-5-hydroperoxide among the cholesterol oxidation products in LDL incubated with micromolar concentrations of copper ions.
