Abstract
► Oxidation of either the lipid or the protein moiety of LDL increases macrophage viability. ► Pro-survival modification involves derivatization of amino groups by lipid oxidation products. ► Pro-survival oxidation products are mainly unfragmented hydroperoxides and endoperoxides. ► Arachidonic acid-derived adducts contain hydroxylactam rings derived from isolevuglandins. ► Fluorescence spectra of adducts are similar to those of oxLDL, lipofuscin, and ceroid.
