Lipid peroxidation in erythrocytes

Clemens, Michael R., Waller, Hans Dierck·1987·Chemistry and Physics of Lipids

Abstract

Erythrocytes might be expected to be highly susceptible to peroxidation. Their membranes are rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids; they are continuously exposed to high concentrations of oxygen; and they contain a powerful transition metal catalyst. In fact, autoxidation is held in check in vivo by extremely efficient protective antioxidant mechanisms. These involve cellular enzymes such as superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase, as well as vitamin E; but they mainly reflect effective structural compartmentalisation. This review surveys mechanisms which lead to red cell lipid autoxidation and the role of haemoglobin in these processes. The influence of haemoglobinopathies, of lipid composition and of abnormalities in antioxidant mechanisms induced by exogenous oxidant stress is also considered.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
