The sequential breakdown of fatty substances in cells by chemical oxidation, leading eventually to the destruction of membranes within and surrounding the cell.
Refers to the oxidative degradation of lipids. This process proceeds by a free radical chain reaction mechanism. [See: Fluoride & the Brain | Fluoride & the Kidneys
Lipids are the most readily oxidizable class of biomolecules, so oxidative stress is most often monitored by measuring the products of lipid peroxidation. Lipid peroxidation is the result of an oxidative free radical attack on unsaturated fatty acids found in all cell membranes resulting in cell damage.
Lipids are the backbone of nerve cell membranes.
The process by which free radicals “steal” electrons from the lipids in our cell membranes, resulting in cell damage and increased production of free radicals.
the introduction of a great number of oxygen molecules into unsaturated fatty acids
Lipid peroxidation refers to the oxidative degradation of lipids. It is the process whereby free radical "steal" electrons from the lipids in cell membranes, resulting in cell damage. This process proceeds by a free radical chain reaction mechanism.
