Multiple oxidants oxidize plasma to give lipid hydroperoxides.
Peroxyl radicals, peroxynitrite, hypochlorite and lipoxygenase were studied.
Plasma lipid hydroperoxides react with DPPP to give highly fluorescent DPPP oxide.
Production of lipid hydroperoxide was followed by increase in fluorescence intensity.
This system was applied to assessment of antioxidant capacity with microplate reader.
