Hematomas occur in atheromatous lesions and plaque material contains lipid oxidation products including lipid hydroperoxide22 which can mediate not only the oxidation of hemoglobin but might also lyse intact red cells.23 PubMed:20378845
Indeed, lipids derived from atheromatous lesions promoted the oxidation of ferrohemoglobin to ferrihemoglobin (Fig 2C). PubMed:20378845
Preincubation of lipid extract derived from atheroma, complicated lesion or oxidized LDL with glutathione/glutathione peroxidase (which specifically reduced lipid hydroperoxide to alcohol by 35%, 38% and 90%, respectively) significantly lowered the lytic effect (Fig 1B, empty bars).Oxidation of liberated hemoglobin was also reduced (Fig 1C, empty bars) PubMed:20378845
Treatment of oxidized LDL (Fig 2B), or atheroma lipids (Fig 2D) with glutathione/glutathione peroxidase lowered the lipid hydroperoxide content as well as the oxidation of hemoglobin. PubMed:20378845
Thus, it appears that these extracts oxidize ferrohemoglobin to ferrihemoglobin, thereby leading to heme instability and heme-mediated initiation of lipid peroxidation. PubMed:20378845
