| Antioxidant Protection of Egg Lecithin Liposomes during Sonication  | | | | Abstract
| When model membranes are prepared by ultrasonic treatm ent of polyunsaturated phos pholipids, radical production can induce a partial degradation of the polyunsaturated fatty acyl chains and the formation of lipid hydroperoxides. A suitable antioxidant employed dur ing liposome preparation is able to protect them against lipid peroxidation. This work con tains the results of studies on egg lecithin liposomes with incorporated antioxidants that were supposed to play the protective role mentioned. As it has been shown the antioxidant com pounds used ensured a 40-60% , i.e., satisfactory protection of liposomes after 30 min sonication. Possible practical applications are discussed. | | | |

| Chemiluminescence in the Coupled Oxidation of Lecithin and Ascorbate | | | | Abstract
| Chem ilum inescence (CL) that appears during oxidation o f lecithin and ascorbate has been studied. A simple system consisting only o f purified lecithin, which has one double bond, and ascorbate as a physiological reductant with a low redox potential, was used. The CL spectrum o f lecithin contain a strong band lying in the near infrared, and three bands at 20 900 cm -1, 17 700 cm -1 and 15 800 cm -1, being characteristic o f singlet m olecular oxygen (1O a). The effect o f * 0 2 quenchers on both autooxidation processes has also been investigated. The obtained results indicate that the main emitter is the *0 2. An addition o f ascorbate to the system lecithin plus buffer causes a decrease o f CL intensity. That is a result o f stronger quenching properties o f ascorbate and not due to efficiency o f the generation o f *0 2 . | | | |
