title: Lipid peroxidation and oxidation of several compounds by H2O2 activated metmyoglobin.
abstract: Activated metmyoglobin (MetMb) by H2O2 initiates oxidation of microsomal unsaturated fatty acids, beta-carotene and methional but not formate. Lipid peroxidation by activated MetMb was not inhibited by catalase. The activated species which initiates lipid peroxidation appears to be a porphyrin cation radical, PFeIV=O, and not a hydroxyl radical.
