Acrolein is a major unsaturated aldehyde that is generated during the lipid peroxidation process. The measurement of acrolein in biological samples should be useful to estimate the degree of lipid peroxidation and to evaluate the effect of hazardous properties of acrolein on human health. In this study, a highly sensitive and selective high-performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection method was developed for the determination of acrolein in human serum. The proposed method involves the pre-column fluorogenic derivatization of acrolein with 1,2-diamino-4,5-dimethoxybenzene (DDB) as a reagent. The fluorescent derivative of acrolein could be detected clearly without any interfering reagent blank peaks because DDB does not have intrinsic fluorescence itself, and the detection limit was 10 nM (signal-to-noise ratio = 3). The proposed method could selectively detect acrolein in human serum with a simple protein precipitation treatment., (Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.)

4-Hydroxy-2-nonenal (4HNE) is a major aldehyde generated during lipid peroxidation. The clinical monitoring of 4HNE in biological fluids could be useful for the early diagnosis of several diseases involving lipid peroxidation, such as rheumatoid arthritis, Parkinson's disease and cancer. In this study, an HPLC with fluorescence detection method was developed for the determination of 4HNE in human serum. The proposed method involves the extraction of 4HNE from human serum by subzero temperature extraction and fluorescent labeling of 4HNE with 4-(N,N-dimethylaminosulfonyl)-7-hydrazino-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole. The lower detection limit (signal-to-noise ratio=3) of the method was 0.06 µm in serum. The proposed method was successfully applied to the measurement of 4HNE in sera obtained from patients with rheumatoid arthritis., (Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.)
