(a) Decay of transient absorbance of αTocO radicals at 430 nm (⚪, ⋄) and bleaching of the carotenoid absorbance at 470 nm (□,  ∆) after oxidation of 20 μM HDL by radical-anions in 10 mM pH 7 phosphate buffer. Solutions were saturated with N2O (□,  ⚪) and O2 (⋄,  ∆). (b) Transient absorbance changes measured at 430 nm and 470 nm for solutions containing 1.6 μM LDL. In (a) and (b), μM for N2O-saturated solutions and μM for O2-saturated solutions (see [31] for full experimental details).
