CRC Press - Lipid Oxidation in Health and Disease Book

Explore the complex science of oxidative modification in this professional medical text from CRC Press. Lipid Oxidation in Health and Disease examines how the oxidation of lipids and phospholipids affects biochemical functions. The text covers essential processes such as radical damage, halogenation, and nitration, which change the chemical properties of molecules. While lipid oxidation is traditionally viewed as a process leading to lipid rancidity and the generation of toxic products, this book provides a modern perspective. It addresses recent research into the non-detrimental physiological and pathological effects of these chemical reactions. This resource is designed for medical and healthcare practitioners interested in the relationship between oxidative stress and disease, offering an up-to-date look at how these changes impact health and biological systems.
