Sample Handling Procedures: Aliquots (1 ml) of the incubation mixtures were extracted with 2 ml portions of ice-cold mixture CHCl3:MeOH (2:1, v/v) containing BHT (0.05%). Lipid hydroperoxide content was determined by the thiocyanate method according to Mihaljevic et al. 1996 by sequentially adding CHCl3:MeOH (2:1, v/v) mixture (1.4 ml) and the thiocyanate reagent (0.1 ml) to the extract (1 ml). The reagent was prepared by mixing equivalent volumes of methanolic solution of KSCN (3%) and ferrous-ammonium sulphate solution (45 mM in 0.2 mM HCl). After the mixture had been left at ambient temperature for at least 5 min, the absorbance at 500 nm was recorded. The lipid peroxide value was determined using a calibration curve prepared with standard cumene hydroperoxide.

Sample Handling Procedures:  
Sample extraction / preparation
(e.g. temp, aqueous/organic extraction, internal standard, etc)

Homogenized in a buffer containing 180mM KCl, 5 mM 3-[N-morpholino]propanesulfonic acid, 2mM ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), 1mM diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid and 1µM butylated hydroxyl toluene, 10 ?g/ml aprotinin, 1mM phenylmethylsulfonyl
fluoride, pH 7,3 (Potter-Eljeveim device,at 4ºC).

Samples containing 0.75-1 mg of protein are delipidated using chloroform:methanol (2:1 v/v), and proteins are precipitated by adding
10% trichloroacetic acid (final concentration) and subsequent centrifugation. Protein samples are reduced overnight with 500 mM NaBH
(final concentration) in 0.2M borate buffer, pH 9.2, containing 1 drop of hexanol as an anti-foam reagent. Proteins are then reprecipitated by
adding 1ml of 20% trichloroacetic acid and subsequent centrifugation.
The following isotopically labelled internal standards are then added:[2H8]Lysine (d8-Lys; CDN Isotopes) and [2H8]MDAL (d8-MDAL), prepared as described

Antioxidants / stabilizers included
(amounts/ concentrations)
see above
Sample storage
(temp, under N2, acceptable storage period)
-80ºC 2-4 months
Assay Protocol (please expand box as necessary) The samples are hydrolysed at 155oC for 30 min in 1ml of 6N HCl, and then dried in vacuo. The N,O-trifluoroacetyl methyl ester derivatives
of the protein hydrolysate are prepared as previously described .
GC/MS analyses are carried out on a Hewlett-Packard model 6890 gas chromatograph equipped with a 30m HP-5MS capillary column (30m x 0.25mm x 0.25 ?m) coupled to a Hewlett-Packard model 5973A mass selective
detector (Agilent, Barcelona, Spain). The injection port is maintained at 275oC; the temperature program was 5 min at 110oC, then 2oC/min to 150oC, then 5oC/min to 240oC, then 25oC/min to 300oC, and finally hold at 300oC for 5 min. Quantification was performed by external standardisation using standard curves constructed from mixtures of deuterated and non-deuterated standards. Analytes are detected by selected ion-monitoring GC/MS. The ions used are: lysine and d8-lysine, m/z 180 and 187, respectively; and MDAL and d8-MDAL, m/z 474 and 482, respectively. The amounts of products were expressed as the ratio ?mol
of MDAL/mol lysine.
Procedure variations
(please specify any possible variations to the procedure, for example for different types of sample)
Adaptation is needed for fatty tissues, as well as
for low abundant proteins. In those cases, extensive delipidation is a strong requisite.
Known Artefacts / Interfering Substances None so far
