How are Lipid Peroxides Related to Environmental Toxicants?
Exposure to environmental toxicants such as pesticides, industrial chemicals, and air pollutants can enhance lipid peroxidation. These toxicants can generate reactive oxygen species (ROS), which initiate and propagate the lipid peroxidation process. Understanding this relationship helps in assessing the risks associated with environmental exposures and developing strategies to mitigate their impact on health.
