This article discusses the process of lipid peroxidation (LPO) and its role in the pathogenesis of cell damage. Lipid peroxidation is a complex chain reaction that occurs as a result of the oxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids, one of the main components of biological membranes, under the influence of free radicals. This process leads to negative consequences such as disruption of cell membrane integrity, disruption of ion exchange, mitochondrial dysfunction, formation of cytotoxic aldehydes, and increased oxidative stress. Increased LPO plays an important role in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, atherosclerosis, diabetes, inflammatory processes, and cancer. The article also analyzes the protective mechanisms of the antioxidant system, their function in limiting LPO, and their therapeutic significance.
