What are the Toxicological Effects of Lipid Peroxides?
The toxicological effects of lipid peroxides are wide-ranging and can affect multiple biological systems. They can disrupt cellular membranes, leading to increased permeability and cell lysis. Lipid peroxides can also damage proteins and DNA, contributing to mutagenesis and potentially leading to carcinogenesis. Additionally, they can inhibit enzyme function and impair cellular signaling pathways.
