Reduction of phosphatidylcholine hydroperoxide by apolipoprotein A-I: purification of the hydroperoxide-reducing proteins from human blood plasma

Plasma glutathione peroxidase (GSHPx) has been suggested to reduce submicromolar levels of free fatty acid hydroperoxides and phosphatidylcholine hydroperoxides (PC-OOH), and therefore these hydroperoxides are undetectable in human blood plasma. The capacity for the reduction should be about 2.5 μm...
