Lipid Peroxidation Early after Brain Injury

Abstract: The role of lipid peroxidation after brain injury is still not completely understood, and results of different studies have been equivocal. In this study, three proposed peroxidation markers were determined in patients early after isolated head injury and results compared to healthy controls. Malondialdehyde (MDA) and thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS) were measured in plasma, and n-pentane was determined in patients' exhaled air. For MDA and TBARS no significant differences could be shown (0.267 … Show more

“…Using the same biochemical technique as for plasma TBARS determination, Scholpp et al [18] demonstrated that there was no difference in the levels of this plasma marker for lipid peroxidation between patients with TBI 12 to 24 hours after admission and healthy controls, thus suggesting that it is not a useful biomarker for oxidative stress damage in TBI. However, in this study, the patient sample was relatively small (n = 18), showing a variable degree in TBI severity (GCS between 3 and 13).…”

“…Experimental models of TBI in rodents demonstrated that the damage caused by the oxidative stress might vary according to the brain structures, trauma intensity, and time after injury [14]. The role of ROS brain damage in human TBI has been studied; however, the association between its plasma markers and the prognosis in humans remains controversial [15][16][17][18].…”

“…The presence of superoxide radicals (SORs) in the environment may lead to the synthesis of NO and peroxynitrite and triggers lipid peroxidation. These released SORs may cause oxidative damage through lipid peroxidation [14,15]. Aminoguanidine is a compound that inhibits selectively and competitively inducible nitric oxide synthase and thereby causes reduced nitric oxide formation.…”

“…The discrepancy between these earlier studies and ours may be due to a difference in duration of the experiment; it is possible that the antioxidant defense system of the brain was able to withstand tartrazine-induced oxidative stress during the 14-day treatment in this study. An alternative explanation is that lipid peroxidation only occurs in the late stages of oxidative stress [45] and that the markers we examined did not reflect the full effects of tartrazine.…”
