Lipid peroxidation is an end process of cellular injury driven by oxidative stress (OS) and inflammation through several molecular changes. Metabolism-generated reactive oxygen species avidly attack the polyunsaturated fatty acids in lipid cell membranes, initiating a self-propagating chain-reaction. Cell membrane destruction, lipids and the end-products of lipid peroxidation reactions are hostile to the viability of cells, even tissues causing and exacerbating Diabetes Mellitus (DM), neurodegenerative disorders (NDDs), cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). Current treatment regimens have untoward side effects in the long-term necessitating phytochemical use as these are part of natural food sources. Enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidant defense mechanisms may be over run causing lipid peroxidation to take place. In disease states, oxidative stress may increase with subsequent production of increased free radicals which may over run the antioxidant capacity of the body with resultant oxidative damage on polyunsaturated fatty acids in the cell fluid membranes with cellular and tissue damage. Phytochemicals, have been shown to ameliorate diseases through attenuation of oxidative stress, inflammation, lipid peroxidation, causing tissue regeneration by regulating signaling systems and neuroprotective processes. Involvement of polyphenolic and non-phenolic phytochemical in the attenuation of OS, inflammation and lipid peroxidation remain areas of critical importance in combating DM, CVDA, NDD and RA.

Acute Heat Stress

One reason for lower fertility of European bulls in tropical regions is a higher rate of oxidative stress caused by increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) not compensated by antioxidant protection. In that regard, sperm are extremely susceptible to oxidative stress due to a high concentration of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) in their plasma membranes. However, the presence of these PUFA is fundamental for sperm to be fertile and resistant to cold shock. Thus, treatments that suppress oxidation may increase productivity of these animals. This study aimed to evaluate the most damaging ROS for European bulls subjected to heat stress and to determine a possible antioxidant-targeted treatment. In a second step, we sought to verify the efficiency of the interaction between a diet rich in PUFA and a targeted antioxidant treatment on the quality of ejaculated and epididymal sperm in European bulls subjected to testicular heat stress. Four Bos taurus bulls were subjected to scrotal insulation for 5 days, with semen collection (electroejaculation) 60 days after insulation. Semen from each bull was divided into 4 aliquots and subjected to 4 ROS-generating systems: superoxide anion (xanthine/xanthine oxidase), hydrogen peroxide, hydroxyl radical (ascorbate + ferrous sulfate), and malondialdehyde (MDA; lipid peroxidation product). Samples were incubated for 1 h and assessed by computerized sperm analysis (CASA); eosin/nigrosin (membrane integrity); fast-green/Bengal rose (acrosome integrity); 3,3′ diaminobenzidine (mitochondrial activity); sperm chromatin structure assay (DNA fragmentation); and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (lipid peroxidation). Overall, MDA had the most deleterious effects on semen quality of Bos taurus bulls subjected to acute heat stress. Thereafter, 16 bulls were subjected to testicular insulation and allocated into 4 groups: control (n = 4; given mineral oil; placebo); vitamin E (n = 4, given 5 mL of Monovin® every 13 days); PUFA (n = 4; given 4 kg day–1 Megalac®); and PUFA+vitamin E (n = 4; combination of PUFA and vitamin E treatment groups). Semen was collected on the day of installation of the insulation, on the day it was removed, and 30 and 60 days later. Overall, vitamin E reduced heat stress-induced damage to sperm DNA and mitochondria, but only in samples collected from the epididymis. Similarly, the combination of vitamin E and PUFA supplementation improved sperm motility patterns. Therefore, a combined antioxidant treatment (vitamin E and PUFA) may reduce damage to sperm caused by acute heat stress in European bulls. However, this treatment may be more effective if instituted before heat stress.

Exhaled aliphatic aldehydes were proposed as non-invasive biomarkers to detect increased lipid peroxidation in various diseases. As a prelude to clinical application of the multicapillary column–ion mobility spectrometry for the evaluation of aldehyde exhalation, we, therefore: (1) identified the most abundant volatile aliphatic aldehydes originating from in vitro oxidation of various polyunsaturated fatty acids; (2) evaluated emittance of aldehydes from plastic parts of the breathing circuit; (3) conducted a pilot study for in vivo quantification of exhaled aldehydes in mechanically ventilated patients. Pentanal, hexanal, heptanal, and nonanal were quantifiable in the headspace of oxidizing polyunsaturated fatty acids, with pentanal and hexanal predominating. Plastic parts of the breathing circuit emitted hexanal, octanal, nonanal, and decanal, whereby nonanal and decanal were ubiquitous and pentanal or heptanal not being detected. Only pentanal was quantifiable in breath of mechanically ventilated surgical patients with a mean exhaled concentration of 13 ± 5 ppb. An explorative analysis suggested that pentanal exhalation is associated with mechanical power—a measure for the invasiveness of mechanical ventilation. In conclusion, exhaled pentanal is a promising non-invasive biomarker for lipid peroxidation inducing pathologies, and should be evaluated in future clinical studies, particularly for detection of lung injury.

Rationale: Chronic electronic cigarette (EC) users exhibit a higher susceptibility of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) to undergo oxidation as compared to non-user controls. However, there is a paucity of data regarding EC effects on lipid peroxidation in the blood and their relationship to cardiovascular risk. Objective: To test the hypothesis that chronic (≥1 year) EC use exerts intermediate effects on plasma lipid peroxidation and/or antioxidant defense compared to chronic tobacco cigarette (TC) smoking. Methods and Results: We enrolled EC-users (n=32), TC-smokers (n=29) and non-users (n=45), with mean ages of 28.3, 27.8 and 27.4 years, respectively. Plasma concentrations of free polyunsaturated fatty acids and oxidized metabolites were assessed by mass spectrometry. Total antioxidant capacity (TAC), concentrations of glutathione, bilirubin, heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), and functional activity of paraoxonase1 (PON1) were determined by colorimetric and enzymatic assays. Multivariable analysis was performed using classification models for segregating participants based on biomarker profiles. Plasma arachidonic acid (AA) concentration was higher in TC-smokers but lower in EC-users, together with linoleic acid (LA) concentration, as compared to TC-smokers and non-users (p<0.05). Oxidized LA metabolites (9- and 13-hydroxyoctadecadienoic acid (HODE)) were lower in EC-users and TC-smokers as compared to non-users (p<0.001). Consistently, TAC and bilirubin were elevated in EC-users and TC-smokers as compared to non-users (p<0.05). Of interest, plasma HO-1 concentration was higher in TC-smokers as compared to non-users (p=0.01) with intermediate levels in EC-users. Multivariable analysis identified 5 biomarkers (13-HODE, LA, 9-HODE, 12-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (HETE), AA) that discriminated EC-users from TC-smokers and non-users with an accuracy of 73.4%. Conclusions: Chronic use of EC induces common (i.e. lower 9- and/or 13-HODEs and higher TAC and bilirubin) as well as differential effects (i.e. altered AA and LA concentrations) to those induced by TC, along with intermediate plasma HO-1 concentration, suggesting that EC, likewise TC smoke, could impact cardiovascular risk.

Oxylipins are formed in-vivo from polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). A large structural variety of compounds is grouped under the term oxylipins, which differ from their formation mechanism (involving enzymes or not), as well as their chemical structures (cyclopentanes, tetrahydrofurans, hydroxylated-PUFA etc.). All structures of oxylipins are of great biological interests. Directly correlated to oxidative stress phenomenon, non-enzymatic oxylipins are used as systemic and/or specific biomarkers in various pathologies and more especially, they were found to have their own biological properties. Produced in-vivo as a non-separable mixture of isomers, total synthesis is a keystone to answer biological questions. In this work, we described the total synthesis of three non-enzymatic oxylipins derived from docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and docosapentanoic acid (DPAn-3) using a unique and convergent synthetic strategy.
