Lipid peroxidation overview

The basic mechanisms of lipid peroxidation are well understood and described in the literature in many excellent reviews (e.g. Girotti, 1985 Gardner, 1989 Buettner, 1993). Here, apart from essential background information, we will restrict our discussion in this short overview to recent advances in our understanding of lipid peroxidation, emphasizing those aspects relevant to coronary heart disease. Some of the biological implications of these reactions will be discussed by others in this volume.
