Abstract
Lipid peroxidation is a naturally occurring process involving the generation of free radicals mainly derived from the polyunsaturated fatty acids that are incorporated into the phosphoglycerides of membranes. The peroxidative process has been shown to be a radical chain reactive sequence which has separate initiation, propagation and termination steps.1 Initiation is thought to occur either by a radical addition to a double bond or by abstraction of an allylic hydrogen by a reactive radical. In either case, generation of an appropriate chain initiating radical must preceed the propagation reactions.
