Description
Product Characteristics: Lipid peroxidation occurs when oxidizing agents attack carbon-carbon double bonds found in unsaturated lipids. In addition to membrane degradation, oxidation end-products have been found to damage cell viability through their mutagenic and toxic properties. These downstream functional consequences facilitate the development of disease and premature aging. Crotonaldehyde (CRA) is a carcinogenic, conjugated aldehyde produced endogenously via lipid peroxidation. It covalently modifies biomolecules, forming adducts with DNA and nucleophilic amino acid residues of proteins such as lysine (1).
