Parameters of susceptibility to ex vivo peroxidation of LDL and systemic oxidative stress derived from experimental groups of the study protocol

Mice LDL lag time, min LDLTBARS, nmol/mg protein Plasma isoprostane 8-epi-PGF, pg/ml
ND WT 145  ± 23 (n = 8) 14.3  ± 2.9 (n = 8) 101  ± 16 (n = 6)
HFD WT 113  ± 14 (n = 8) 24.4  ± 4.2 (n = 8) 122  ± 19 (n = 6)
ND p66Shc−/− 152  ± 23 (n = 8) 13.1  ± 2.8 (n = 8) 93  ± 12 (n = 6)
HFD p66Shc−/− 138  ± 13 (n = 8)* 18.2  ± 2.9 (n = 8)* 105  ± 15 (n = 6)*

Formation of TBARS at 12 h after exposure of LDL to 1 μM copper sulfate. Lag time represents an index of LDL oxidizability; increased values of lag time reflect increased resistance of LDL to oxidative modification (17, 19).
