Lipid peroxidation has been a central aspect of studies of the nature of free radical species and their origin in biological systems. Moreover, there has been a growing interest in lipid peroxidation based on evidence that biologically active products are formed that influence cell function and the course of major human diseases. A review of the work in this area is contributed by Lars Ernster is presented with an emphasis on the mechanisms by which lipid peroxidation is initiated in biological lipid systems. Based on what was described for metal catalyzed oxidation of cell membranes, and the seminal studies on cytochrome P-450-mediated lipid peroxidation, several parallel and distinct aspects of lipid peroxidation are described. A key distinction between lipid peroxidation in cell membranes and lipoproteins reveals aspects of free radical initiated reactions involving proteins and lipids that determine pro- vs. anti-oxidant outcomes, and the role of lipid structure and order in delineating the progress of oxidation.
