The influence of the chain length of aldehydes on the fluorescence of chromolipids

Abstract: Incubation of phosphatidylethanolamine containing liposomes with malondialdehyde and other aldehydes with different chain lengths results in the fluorescence of chromolipids. Relative to malondialdehyde, the fluorescence was greatly enhanced with increasing chain length upon incubation of 2-alkenals with phospholipids. Similar results were found using the total lipid extracted from erythrocyte ghosts. It seems that the hydrophobic character of the aldehydes is important for the amount of fluorescence detected … Show more

“…There is no trend in the spectra, which shows that one amino acid produce more intense fluorescence than the other. Previous research shows that not only the aldehyde structure (steric hindrance and chain length) can play an important role in fluorescence formation (Montfoort, Bezstarosti, Groh, & Koster, 1987), but also the amine compound (Aubourg & Gallardo, 1997).…”

“…As a result several variations in some lipid class contents were obtained in plasma and liver, but the most interesting result was that a decrease in rat growth (body weight) was observed compared with controls. Montfoort et al (1987) carried out a comparative study of fluorescence formation on exposure of phosphatidyl ethanolamine containing liposomes to a large variety of saturated and unsaturated aldehydes; it was larger with alkenals than with other aldehydes: in the case of MDA, fluorescence produced was slightly higher than alkanals, but much smaller than alkenals. The fluorescence increased with chain length of alkenals.…”

“…Tsuchida et al (23) suggested that the water-soluble fluorescent substances in the protein fraction of mouse and human sera might not be conjugated Schiff bases formed from protein and MDA but due to some other stable compounds. It was suggested (24,25) that fluorescent chromolipids formed by lipid peroxidation are derived from 4-hydroxynonenal or similar reactive aldehydes, since the formation of high molecular weight proteins more or less parallels the formation of chromolipids, but not the formation of MDA.…”
