Abstract
Proton nuclear magnetic resonance (H-1 NMR) spectroscopy was used to c haracterize the oxidized products in the serum lipoprotein lipids (LPL ) of rabbits infected with Schistosoma japonicum. The loss of bis-ally lic and allylic methylenes proton peaks (2.7 and 2.0 p.p.m.) of unsatu rated systems of the LPL and the appearance of the signals of the conj ugated diene systems of hydroperoxide (5.43-6.45 p.p.m.) and epidioxid e (2.45 p.p.m.) of the fatty chains of the serum demonstrated the lipi ds degradation associated with the Schistosoma infection.
