Abstract

4-Hydroxy nonenal (HNE) is a lipid peroxidation product derived from oxidized $\omega$-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids, such as arachidonic acid. HNE is widely used as a marker of lipid peroxidation. To study the hypothesis that HNE may induce apoptosis and cell cycle arrest, we estimated cytotoxicity of HNE in BAE (bovine aortic endothelial) cells. Anti-proliferative effects were examined by morphological changes and MTT assay after exposure to different time (0-3 hr) and concentration (3-7 ${\mu}$M of HNE. (omitted)
