Malonaldehyde (MA) and 4‐hydroxynonenal (4‐HN) formed upon oxidation with Fe 2+ /H 2 O 2 from arachidonic acid and linoleic acid, and their ethyl esters were analyzed by gas chromatography (GC). The MA and 4‐HN produced were reacted with N ‐methylhydrazine (NMH) to give 1‐methylpyrazole and 5(1′‐hydroxyhexyl)‐1‐methyl‐2‐pyrazoline, respectively. The derivatives were analyzed by GC on a fused silica capillary column using a nitrogen‐phosphorus detector. With arachidonic acid, more MA and 4‐HN were formed from the ester (88 nmol/mg and 23 nmol/mg, respectively) than from the free acid (25 nmol/mg and 9 nmol/mg, respectively). In contrast, with linoleic acid, more MA and 4‐HN were produced from the free acid (53 nmol/mg and 13 nmol/mg, respectively) than from the ester (39 nm/mg and 8 nmol/mg, respectively).
