"Lipid Peroxidation" ed. by Angel Catala

This volume offers you up-to-date, expert reviews of the fast-moving field of Lipid Peroxidation. The purpose of this book is to concentrate on recent developments on lipid peroxidation. The articles collected in this book are contributions by invited researchers with a long-standing experience in different research areas. The material presented here is understandable to a broad audience, not only scientists but also people with general background in many different biological sciences.

The book is divided in four mayor sections:
1-Lipid peroxidation: chemical mechanisms, antioxidants, biological implications;
2-Evaluation of lipid peroxidation processes;
3-Lipid peroxidation in vegetables, oils, plants and meats and
4-Lipid peroxidation in health and disease.
