Abstract
Evidence for presence of cholesterol 7 alpha- and 7 beta-hydroperoxides in rat skin was presented for the first time. The 7-hydroperoxides in rat skin were reduced with sodium borohydride and trimethylsilylated for identification with the authentic compounds by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. A content of cholesterol 7-hydroperoxides in rat skin, determined by high performance liquid chromatography with a chemiluminescence detector, highly correlated with the age of rats (r = 0.874; between 1 and 45 weeks old), indicating that cholesterol 7 alpha- and 7 beta-hydroperoxides were good markers for aging.Entities:
