Abstract

Abstract Lipid peroxidation begins with the abstraction of a hydrogen atom from an unsaturated lipid, and involves the formation and propagation of lipid radicals, uptake of oxygen, and rearrangement of double bonds in the polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA). Rearrangement of the double bonds results in the formation of conjugated dienes (lipid hydroperoxides), which are characterized by intense absorption near 233 nm (1).
