Lipid peroxidation
- Refers to Chain reaction providing a continuous supply of free radicals that initiates further peroxidation.The wholee process is given below:
- Initiation:
X’ + RH –> R’ + XH
- Propagation:
R’ + O2 –> ROO’
ROO’ + RH à ROOH + R’
- Termination:
ROO’ + ROO’ —> ROOR + O2
ROO’ + R’–> ROOR
R’ + R’ –> RR
