Scientific Background: Lipid peroxidation occurs when oxidizing agents attack carbon-carbon double bonds found in unsaturated lipids. In addition to membrane degradation, oxidation end-products have been found to damage cell viability through their mutagenic and toxic properties. These downstream functional consequences facilitate the development of disease and premature aging. Acrolein is an electrophilic conjugated aldehyde that is a terminal product of lipid peroxidation. Acrolein is highly mutagenic and reacts with nucleophilic functional groups in DNA and proteins such as cysteine, histidine, and lysine residues (1).
