Hexaldehyde

Description

Description of Hexaldehyde with associated disease summary

Individual aldehydes resulting from lipid peroxidation can be measured in exhaled breath condensate (EBC). Whether the levels of aldehydes could be used for comparison between patients with stable/moderate to severe/chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases with those of smoking/nonsmoking control subjects was investigated. Hexanal is a known breakdown product of oxidized linoleic and arachidonic, palmitoleic, and oleic acid, respectively. Hexanal could be measured by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Hexanal increased in patients with COPD as compared with nonsmoking control subjects (p=0.004) but not compared with smoking control subjects (p=0.1). Literature suggests different aldehydes can be identified and measured in EBC of humans; these aldehydes may be envisaged as potential biomarkers for monitoring diseases and response to therapy; of which hexanal is one of these aldehydes ( Am J Respir Crit Care Med. (2003) ). Description of disease(s) related to Hexanal:

Disease summary

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)

Hexanal increased in patients with COPD as compared with nonsmoking control subjects (p=0.004) but not compared with smoking control subjects (p=0.1) ( Am J Respir Crit Care Med. (2003) ).

Summary of extracted biomedical information
