Abstract

The antioxidants, 2-tert.-butyl-4-methoxyphenol (BHA) and its oxidative peroxidation product 2,2'-dihydroxy-3,3'-di-tert.-butyl-5,5'-dimethoxybiphenyl (di-BHA), 3,5-di-tert.-butyl-4-hydroxytoluene (BHT) and propyl gallate, were measured in plasma and tissue homogenates by HPLC and electrochemical detection, with a sensitivity down to 0.2 (BHA), 0.1 (di-BHA), 0.4 (BHT) and 1 (propyl gallate) ng ml(-1) of plasma or tissue homogenate. The data demonstrate that in man, at the current level of exposure to dietary antioxidants, significant amounts of BHA, BHT and propyl gallate are accumulated in the omentum. Furthermore, they provide the first evidence that the peroxidase-catalysed oxidation of BHA is operative in man.
