Abstract
Lipid peroxidation is a process which occurs in biological membranes, and which has been implicated in many instances of in vitro and in vivo damage.1 The hepatic microsomal fraction is known to readily undergo lipid peroxidation. Extensive research has been conducted to attempt to clarify this process which has been shown to involve the hepatic microsomal cytochrome P-450 mixed function oxidase system. In this review we will discuss the properties of another hepatic microsomal enzyme, FAD*-containing monooxygenase. In addition we will summarize the peroxidative mechanism as it is currently understood and present evidence that FAD-containing monooxygenase is involved in the lipid peroxidation of hepatic microsomes.
