METHODS IN LIPID OXIDATION

 

Chairs:  Henry Jay Forman, PhD, University of Southern California; University of California, Merced, USA;  Corinne Spickett, MA, DPhil, Aston University, Birmingham, UK

 

Description: 

Lipid oxidation generates numerous bioactive products, which can act as either signaling molecules involved in cell growth regulation, and stimulants of increased antioxidant defense, or signal for and participate in cell death. Hence, various acute and chronic human diseases metabolic, degenerative, inflammatory and malignant are associated with lipid oxidation. Therefore, this workshop will give an updated overview on methods in lipid oxidation research that might clarify the most relevant aspects of lipid oxidation and support its positioning within the interdisciplinarity of free radical biology and medicine.
