The Important Role of Lipid Peroxidation Processes in Aging and Age Dependent Diseases

Abstract: Any change in the cell membrane structure activates lipoxygenases (LOX). LOX transform polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) to lipidhydroperoxide molecules (LOOHs). When cells are severely wounded, this physiological process switches to a non-enzymatic lipid peroxidation (LPO) process producing LOO* radicals. These oxidize nearly all-biological molecules such as lipids, sugars, and proteins. The LOO* induced degradations proceed by transfer of the radicals from cell to cell like an infection. The chemical react… Show more

“…GSH also has an indispensable role in the AO defense. GSH redox cycle is a crucial protective mechanism against cell membrane damage by lipid peroxidation (LPO), a chain reaction in which polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) in membrane lipids are being oxidized by ROS (Spiteller 2007, Liu et al 2005. The antioxidant enzyme GPx uses GSH for reducing LOOH and hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ), while GR reduces GSSG with a simultaneous oxidation of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH).…”
