Recognition of cervical neoplasia by the estimation of a free-radical reaction product (octadeca-9,11-dienoic acid) in biopsy material. 1987

J F Griffin, and D G Wickens, and S K Tay, and A Singer, and T L Dormandy

Linoleic acid (18:2(9,12)) and its diene-conjugated isomer (18:2(9,11)) were measured in 65 cervical biopsy samples. Both the 18:2(9,11) concentration and the 18:2(9,11)/18:2(9,12) molar ratio showed highly significant differences between the normal and precancerous groups. Both showed a further significant increase in 4 invasive carcinomas. The findings in histologically normal areas from organs with precancer correlated significantly with the results in the precancerous lesions.

D005609 Free Radicals Highly reactive molecules with an unsatisfied electron valence pair. Free radicals are produced in both normal and pathological processes. Free radicals include reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS). They are proven or suspected agents of tissue damage in a wide variety of circumstances including radiation, damage from environment chemicals, and aging. Natural and pharmacological prevention of free radical damage is being actively investigated. Free Radical
