Intracellular Protein Carbonylation Assay.
Left: A representative WB analysis of total intracellular proteins exposed to aldehydes. A: Air-exposed control; B: 1 μmol of acrolein (equal to 1 cigarette); C: 10 μmol of acrolein (equal to 10 cigarettes); D: 20 μmol of acetaldehyde (equal to 1 cigarette); E: 200 μmol of acetaldehyde (equal to 10 cigarettes). Right: Intracellular protein carbonyl ratio. Average densitometric analyses of three to five different WB assays of the same experiment.
