Figure 6

Detection of lipid hydroperoxides in lip by DMPD staining. Originally DMPD (N, N,'-dimethyl-p-phenylenediammonium dichloride) stains lipid hydroperoxides in reddish pink, and partly oxidized tri-olein (TG-hydroperoxide) standard in lane 6 was observed by DMPD staining just above the position of free cholesterol or diglyceride. The spot of lipid hydroperoxide in lip lipids was observed near the TG-hydroperoxide spot. The arrow head shown in the left figure suggest the presence of oleic acid hydroperoxide. The salivary lipid extract did not show hydroperoxide spot under this developmental condition.
