Abstract

Humans have many defense mechanisms to protect themselves against mutagens and carcinogens. Among the most important defenses may be those against oxygen radicals and lipid peroxidation (LPO). LPO can be of major significance to cell injury produced by free radical mechanisms whether it precedes cell injury or occurs as a consequence of cell injury. LPO is a process in which each step may involve initiation, propagation and termination phases each of which is influenced by a wide range of factors.
