Lipid oxidation is a fundamental chemical process affecting both food quality and human health. This phenomenon, which involves the degradation of unsaturated fatty acids through radical chain ...

Many different mechanisms have been suggested for the oxidative lipid fragmentations that produce biologically active aldehydes such as 4-hydroxynon-2-enal (HNE), oxononanoyl phosphatidylcholine ...

Overweight and obesity pose significant health risks, including an increased likelihood of developing diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. Researchers are seeking practical ways to promote ...

The ways in which cells function are strongly dependent on cell membranes which enclose cellular compartments and separate the interiors of cells from the extracellular domain. Oxidative stress harms ...

A new research study from Loma Linda University shows that adding just a handful of pecans to your diet each day may inhibit unwanted oxidation of blood lipids, thus helping reduce the risk of heart ...

Robert Stahelin, the Retter Professor of Pharmacy and professor of medicinal chemistry and molecular pharmacology, discussed “Lipid-dependent Assembly and Budding of Emerging Viral Pathogens” at the ...

EPFL scientists have identified a molecular pathway that protects cells from lipid oxidation and ferroptosis, a regulated form of cell death involved in aging and several diseases. Our cells ...

Lipid peroxidation is a metabolic process that causes oxidative deterioration of lipids by reactive oxygen species. This process can degrade the lipids within the cell membrane leading to cell damage ...
