Kinetic modelling overcomes some of the drawbacks of purely intuitive thinking in integrating information accumulated on chemical reactions involved in oxidative stress. However, it is important to assess if current knowledge about the reactions that mediate lipid peroxidation already allows satisfactory modelling of this process in near-to-physiological conditions. In this paper, a set of increasingly complex in vitro experiments on antioxidants (alpha-tocopherol and ascorbate) and lipid peroxidation in heterogeneous systems is simulated. Quantitative to semiquantitative agreement is found between experimental and simulation results. In addition, this theoretical analysis provided useful insights, suggested new hypotheses and experiments and pointed out relevant aspects needing further research. The results encourage and serve as partial validation for the formulation of relatively detailed mathematical models of in vivo lipid peroxidation. Some important aspects of the formulation and analysis of such models are discussed.
