FIG. 3.

Effect of Trolox on the decomposition of HPODE. Linoleic acid was oxidized with soybean lipoxygenase, as described in Methods, and was incubated at 37°C for ≤72 h. Trolox was added as sodium salt at 10-, 50-, and 100-μM levels. At specified time periods, lipid peroxides and conjugated dienes were determined. The left and the right panels represent conjugated dienes and peroxides, respectively. Squares and circles, values at 1- and 2-day incubations. The data are expressed as average ± SD from six different sets of incubations. *Values significantly different from control (0 time) values.
