1 Salicylate promotes myeloperoxidase-initiated LDL oxidation: antagonization by its metabolite gentisic acid. Salicylates myeloperoxidase Homo sapiens
2 Taking into consideration, that monophenolic compounds are able to form phenoxyl radicals in presence of peroxidases, we have tested salicylate, in its ability to act as a prooxidant in the MPO system. Salicylates myeloperoxidase Homo sapiens
3 Exposure of LDL preparations to MPO in presence of salicylate revealed that the drug could act as a catalyst of lipid oxidation in LDL. Salicylates myeloperoxidase Homo sapiens
4 The results suggest that salicylate could act like tyrosine via a phenoxyl radical as a catalyst of LDL oxidative modification by MPO. Salicylates myeloperoxidase Homo sapiens
