Lipid oxidation is a fundamental chemical process affecting both food quality and human health. This phenomenon, which involves the degradation of unsaturated fatty acids through radical chain ...

EPFL scientists have identified a molecular pathway that protects cells from lipid oxidation and ferroptosis, a regulated form of cell death involved in aging and several diseases. Subscribe to our ...

The ways in which cells function are strongly dependent on cell membranes which enclose cellular compartments and separate the interiors of cells from the extracellular domain. Oxidative stress harms ...

Panel A shows the effects of lipid excess. Ceramide synthesis begins with the condensation of serine and palmitoyl CoA by serine palmitoyl transferase 1 (SPT1), subsequent reduction by ...

Oral contraceptive pills (OCPs) are commonly used for contraception, but their long-term effects on oxidative stress, lipid profiles, and liver function remain unclear. This study aimed to evaluate ...

Oxidative stress affects all living organisms, and the damage it causes is believed to play a part in cancer, diabetes, Alzheimer's disease and a number of other health conditions. Some animals have ...
