Excerpt
Excerpt: Peroxidation of biological membrane lipids is widely considered to be an integral part of cell damage and many toxic processes (1). Lipid peroxidation is initiated by various free radicals and is a basic deteriorative process in living systems involving the polyunsaturated fatty acids and phospholipids in cellular membranes and other tissue structures (2,3). The toxicity of NO, is assumed to be related to lipid peroxidation of hiomembranes, because NO, readily attacks unsaturated lipid in lung tissue. A mechanism of lipid peroxidation reaction by NO, is shown in equations 1-5 (2).
