Effects of brazilin and haematoxylin on the lipidperoxidation in the rat liver mitochondria

  • Published : 1984.06.01

Abstract

This major sites of liquidperoxidation-damage within the cell are at biomembrances, especially those of subcellular organells such as mitochondria and microsomes whose membranes contain relatively large amount of polyunsaturated fatty acids. Mitochondria are the power plants of eukaryotic cells. Hence their damage by liquid peroxidation can profoundly affect cellular function.
