Lipid oxidation has long been regarded as a deleterious process responsible for lipid rancidity, loss of function, and generation of toxic products. However in recent years, research has also focused on the non-detrimental physiological and pathological effects of these chemical reactions. This book provides an up-to-date review of the role of oxidized lipid products in physiological and pathophysiological processes. Topics include the mechanisms of lipid oxidation, antioxidant defenses, lipid oxidation products, cell signaling, and the roles of oxidized lipids in specific diseases. The book…mehr

Produktbeschreibung
Lipid oxidation has long been regarded as a deleterious process responsible for lipid rancidity, loss of function, and generation of toxic products. However in recent years, research has also focused on the non-detrimental physiological and pathological effects of these chemical reactions. This book provides an up-to-date review of the role of oxidized lipid products in physiological and pathophysiological processes. Topics include the mechanisms of lipid oxidation, antioxidant defenses, lipid oxidation products, cell signaling, and the roles of oxidized lipids in specific diseases. The book also discusses drug targeting and the therapeutic potential of oxidized lipids
Autorenporträt
Corinne M. Spickett is a reader at Aston University in Birmingham, UK. She has studied the analysis of phospholipid oxidation by electrospray mass spectrometry and the biological effects of oxidized lipids. More recently, she expanded her research to include analysis of protein oxidation and formation of lipoxidation products during inflammation, and has been developing label-free, semi-targeted approaches to their identification in biological samples. Henry Jay Forman is a distinguished professor of biochemistry and chemistry and founding faculty at the University of California, Merced. His expertise is in the areas of oxidative stress and signal transduction. His major research achievements are pioneering work in mitochondrial superoxide production, redox signaling, and mechanisms of induced resistance to oxidative stress.
