Also known as: Lipid Peroxidation; Peroxidized Lipids; Rancid Fat

The process of peroxidation of Fats is also known as Lipid Peroxidation.
Carbohydrates/Lipids
Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) may cause the Lipid Peroxidation in the Liver and Spleen.
Electromagnetic Radiation
Exposure of Fatty Acids to Light may accelerate their peroxidation.
Elements
Exposure of Fatty Acids (especially Alpha-Linolenic Acid and Linoleic Acid) to Oxygen may accelerate their peroxidation.
Peroxides (especially Hydrogen Peroxide) may cause the peroxidation of Fatty Acids.
Environmental Toxins
Nitrogen Oxides may cause the peroxidation of endogenous Fats within the body.
Free Radicals
Free Radicals may cause peroxidation of dietary and endogenous Fats.
