| Abstract | Oxidative and nitrosative stress cause changes in proteins which can alter their structure and/or function. However, these changes especially in specific amino acid residues have proven to be reliable biomarkers of oxidative stress and inflammation. The aim of this study was to develop and validate a rapid method for the quantification of five selected biomarkers orto-tyrosine (o-tyr), meta-tyrosine (m-tyr), 3NO2-tyrosine (3NO2-tyr), 3I-tyrosine (3I-tyr) and 3Chloro-tyrosine (3Cl-tyr) in liver, brain and plasma, thus providing a snapshot of the oxidative stress status of the organism. The extraction and cleanup method entails protein precipitation, followed by digestion with pronase. Biomarker quantification is carried out using an Ultra Performance Liquid Chromatography-tandem Mass Spectrometry employing positive electrospray ionization and a reversed phase chromatographic separation. Liver, brain and plasma samples from hypoxic (FiO2: 8%) vs. normoxic newborn piglets (n=5) were studied employing the developed analytical method. m-tyrosine/phenylalanine, orto-tyrosine/phenylalanine, 3Cl-tyrosine/p-tyrosine and 3I-tyrosine/p-tyrosine ratios in liver of hypoxic animals were significantly increased as compared to normoxic. Although no significant differences were found for brain and plasma samples, a clear tendency to increased ratios was observed under hypoxic conditions. This analytical tool has proofed its suitability for the analysis of tissue and plasma samples from newborn piglets. The analysis of biomarkers of protein oxidation in bigger cohorts will be the topic of future studies with the aim of gaining a deeper insight into the mechanisms of oxidation-derived protein modification caused during hypoxia. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
