  • Title: Evidence for hydroxyl radical generation during lipid (linoleate) peroxidation.
    Author: Frenette M, Scaiano JC.
    Journal: J Am Chem Soc; 2008 Jul 30; 130(30):9634-5. PubMed ID: 18597469.
    Abstract:
    The autoxidation of methyl linoleate in benzene at 37 degrees C by peroxyl radicals was found to generate hydroxyl radicals (.OH) from a secondary oxidation mechanism. The yield of hydroxyl radicals (approximately 2%) was determined by trapping these reactive radicals with benzene to give phenol. We propose that alphaC-H hydrogen abstraction from lipid hydroperoxides, the main autoxidation products, is the source of hydroxyl radicals.
