Figure 4

PT-CrAT mice have increased lipid-derived free radical levels. A: Representative spectra of POBN-lipid radical adducts detected by electron spin resonance spectroscopy from Folch extracts of kidney cortex of PT-CrAT mice and fl/fl littermates (n = 5). Increases in the amplitude of the six line spectrum peaks (arrows) are proportional to an increase in carbon-centered lipid-derived free radical levels. Spectra show an approximately threefold increase of lipid radicals in the PT-CrAT mice vs. fl/fl control. a.u., arbitrary units. B: Western blot analysis detected 4-HNE protein adducts. C: Band intensities (normalized to β-actin as loading control) were measured using ImageJ (n = 4). *P < 0.05 vs. fl/fl.
