For example, even though meat is held under refrigeration or in a frozen state, the poly-unsaturated fat will continue to oxidize and slowly become rancid. The fat oxidation process, potentially resulting in rancidity, begins immediately after the animal is slaughtered and the muscle, intra-muscular, inter-muscular and surface fat becomes ...
Phototherapy may cause lipid peroxidation, leading to the rupture of red blood cell cell membranes. [9] End-products of lipid peroxidation may be mutagenic and carcinogenic. [10] For instance, the end-product MDA reacts with deoxyadenosine and deoxyguanosine in DNA, forming DNA adducts to them, primarily M 1 G. [10]
The peroxide value is defined as the amount of peroxide oxygen per 1 kilogram of fat or oil. Traditionally this was expressed in units of milliequivalents, although in SI units the appropriate option would be in millimoles per kilogram (N.B. 1 milliequivalents = 0.5 millimole; because 1 mEq of O2 =1 mmol/2 of O2 =0.5 mmol of O2, where 2 is valence).
This fatty acid composition results in a more fluid cell membrane but also one that is permeable to various ions (H+ & Na+), resulting in cell membranes that are more costly to maintain. This maintenance cost has been argued to be one of the key causes for the high metabolic rates and concomitant warm-bloodedness of mammals and birds. [ 9 ]
Autoxidation is therefore a fairly broad term and can encompass examples of photooxygenation and catalytic oxidation. The common mechanism is a free radical chain reaction , where the addition of oxygen gives rise to hydroperoxides and their associated peroxy radicals (ROO•). [ 5 ]
Example of a reduction–oxidation reaction between sodium and chlorine, with the OIL RIG mnemonic [1] Redox ( / ˈ r ɛ d ɒ k s / RED -oks , / ˈ r iː d ɒ k s / REE -doks , reduction–oxidation [ 2 ] or oxidation–reduction [ 3 ] : 150 ) is a type of chemical reaction in which the oxidation states of the reactants change.

A 5-year-old child had to be disarmed by police after answering the front door holding a loaded handgun in Michigan. The child opened the front door carrying the armed weapon to a cadet who came ...
