title: The mechanism of NADPH-dependent lipid peroxidation. The propagation of lipid peroxidation.
abstract: NADPH-dependent lipid peroxidation occurs in two distinct sequential radical steps. The first step, initiation, is the ADP-perferryl ion-catalyzed formation of low levels of lipid hydroperoxides. The second step, propagation, is the iron-catalyzed breakdown of lipid hydroperoxides formed during initiation generating reactive intermediates and products characteristic of lipid peroxidation. Propagation results in the rapid formation of thiobarbituric acid-reactive material and lipid hydroperoxides. Propagation can be catalyzed by ethylenediamine tetraacetate-chelated ferrous ion, diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid-chelated ferrous ion, or by ferric cytochrome P-450. However, cytochrome P-450 is destroyed during propagation.
