Purpose: To investigate associations between lipid oxidation biomarkers (oxylipins), antioxidant micronutrients, lipoprotein particles, and apolipoproteins in multiple sclerosis (MS). Methods: Blood and neurological assessments were collected from 30 healthy controls, 68 relapsing remitting MS subjects, and 37 progressive MS subjects. Hydroxy (H) and hydroperoxy lipid peroxidation products of the polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) arachidonic (20:4, ω-6), linoleic (octadecadienoic acid or ODE, 18:2, ω-6), eicosapentaenoic (20:5, ω-3), and α-linolenic (18:3, ω-3) acids were measured using liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry. Antioxidant micronutrients, including β-cryptoxanthin and lutein/zeaxanthin, were quantified by high-performance liquid chromatography. Lipoprotein and metabolite profiles were obtained using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Regression models were adjusted for age, sex, body mass index, and disease status. Results: The 9-hydroxy octadecadienoic acid to 13-hydroxy octadecadienoic acid ratio (9-HODE/13-HODE ratio), which reflects autoxidative versus enzymatic oxidation, was associated with MS status (p = 0.002) and disability on the Expanded Disability Status Scale (p = 0.004). Lutein/zeaxanthin (p = 0.023) and β-cryptoxanthin (p = 0.028) were negatively associated with the 9-HODE/13-HODE ratio. Apolipoprotein-CII, a marker of liver-X-receptor (LXR) signaling, was associated with 9-HODE/13-HODE ratio and other oxylipins. Octadecadienoic fatty acid-derived oxylipins were negatively associated with LC3A, a mitophagy marker, and positively correlated with 7-ketocholesterol, a cholesterol autoxidation product. Conclusions: Autoxidation of PUFAs is associated with greater disability in MS. Higher β-cryptoxanthin and lutein/zeaxanthin were associated with reduced auto-oxidation. Lipid peroxidation shows associations with LXR signaling, mitophagy, inflammation, and cholesterol autoxidation.
