Lipid Oxidation in Health and Disease

Lipid Oxidation in Health and Disease

by Corinne M. Spickett (Editor), Henry Jay Forman (Editor)

Many balanced cellular responses depend on lipid molecular structure and reactivity of lipid oxidation products as well as their concentration, and determine the outcome of physiological signaling versus disease pathology. This book covers both established information and recent findings on the action of oxidized lipid products on cell signaling and gene expression in health and disease. It is composed of three sections: (1) Chemistry and Biochemistry of Lipid Oxidation, (2) Sites of Biological Actions of Oxidized Lipids, and (3) Oxidized Lipids in Pathology and Disease.
