Antioxidant effects of 2,3-dihydro-5-hydroxy-4,6-di-tert-butyl-2,2-dipentylbenzofuran and alpha-tocopherol in hyperlipidemic mice as evaluated by hydroxyoctadecadienoic acid and 7-hydroxycholesterol.

    It has been hypothesized that oxidative modification of low density lipoprotein plays a key role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. In order to elucidate the role of lipid oxidation and its inhibition in vivo, apolipoprotein E and alpha-tocopherol (alphaT) transfer protein double knockout (ApoE(-/-)alpha-TTP(-/-)) and apolipoprotein E knockout (ApoE(-/-)) mice fed with a vitamin E-depleted diet and a diet containing 0.002 wt.% alphaT, respectively, were used with or without the treatment of a synthetic antioxidant 2,3-dihydro-5-hydroxy-4,6-di-tert-butyl-2,2-dipentylbenzofuran (BO-653, 0.2 wt.%). The lipid oxidation markers of total hydroxylinoleic acid (tHODE), 8-iso-prostaglandin F(2alpha), and 7-hydroxycholesterol (t7-OHCh) in the blood, liver, and brain were inclusively measured with or without an excessive cholesterol-feeding (Ch-diet). The tHODE levels were elevated by Ch-diet in the plasma and brain of ApoE(-/-)alpha-TTP(-/-) mice and in the liver of ApoE(-/-) mice without BO-653. The levels of t7-OHCh in the liver were also increased due to the Ch-diet, and the ratio of t7-OHCh to the parent compound cholesterol was reduced to the control levels by BO-653. In summary, it was demonstrated by biomarkers, tHODE and t7-OHCh, that the added BO-653 in their diets exerted antioxidative effects in vivo under the condition of reduced vitamin E.
