Physiological response to lipid peroxidation in ischemia and reperfusion during carotid endarterectomy

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>In this study we aimed to assess lipid peroxidation during carotid endarterectomy by the formation of PUFA hydroperoxides (PUFAHP) and isoprostanes (IP) and concomitant peroxisomal beta-oxidation as a physiological mechanism to limit...
