An isoluminol assay is utilized for the detection of hydrogen peroxide and lipid hydroperoxides in biological samples. The combination of this assay as a post-column detection for HPLC avoids interference of antioxidants and enables characterization of hydroperoxides at picomole levels. Two useful HPLC conditions for the separation of hydrogen peroxide, lipid hydroperoxides, antioxidants, and unoxidized lipids are described.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D008054	Lipid Peroxides	Peroxides produced in the presence of a free radical by the oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids in the cell in the presence of molecular oxygen. The formation of lipid peroxides results in the destruction of the original lipid leading to the loss of integrity of the membranes. They therefore cause a variety of toxic effects in vivo and their formation is considered a pathological process in biological systems. Their formation can be inhibited by antioxidants, such as vitamin E, structural separation or low oxygen tension.
