Steroid-lipid interactions in sonicated dipalmitoyl phosphatidyl choline vesicles: a steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence anisotropy study with all trans-1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene as probe.

abstract：:Activated neutrophils generate the potent oxidant hypochlorous acid (HOCl) from the enzyme myeloperoxidase (MPO). A proposed bio-marker for MPO-derived HOCl in vivo is 3-chlorotyrosine, elevated levels of which have been measured in several human inflammatory pathologies. However, it is unlikely that HOCl is produced ...
