Abstract
There is now increasing evidence that free radicals and active oxygen species are involved in a variety of pathological events. Free radical-mediated cell damage and free radical attack on polyunsaturated fatty acids result in the formation of lipid radicals. These lipid radicals react readily with molecular oxygen to produce peroxy radicals responsible for initiating lipid peroxidation. The peroxidation of cellular membrane lipid can lead to cell necrosis and considered to ve implicated in a number of pathophysiological conditions including liver disease. (omitted)
