Susceptibility of LDL to Oxidation 205Fig. 2. Typical curve obtained by monitoring oxidation of LDL with copper at 234 nm.a. Initial or lag phase: This is a slope with a slow increase in absorbance. Theduration of this phase is indicative of the inherent resistance to oxidation ofthe LDL sample being examined.b. Propagation phase: The lag phase is followed by a steep increase in absorbancedue to the rapid formation of conjugated dienes. This occurs only whenall the endogenous antioxidants within the LDL molecule and their protective
