Definition
English
:
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.
