Peroxider som produceras i närvaro av en fri radikal genom oxidation av omättade fettsyror i cellen med molekylärt syre. Bildandet av lipidperoxider leder till nedbrytning av det ursprungliga fettet och därmed membrandefekter. De förorsakar därför en rad toxiska effekter in vivo, och produktion av lipidperoxider räknas som en patologisk process i biologiska system.
Peroxides produced in the presence of a free radical by the oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids in the cell in the presence of molecular oxygen. The formation of lipid peroxides results in the destruction of the original lipid leading to the loss of integrity of the membranes. They therefore cause a variety of toxic effects in vivo and their formation is considered a pathological process in biological systems. Their formation can be inhibited by antioxidants, such as vitamin E, structural separation or low oxygen tension.
