Oxidative stress in C. elegans: Discovery of a mechanistic role for gamma-ketoaldehyde lipid peroxidation products in the Free Radical Theory of Aging

Highly reactive acyclic levuglandin-like gamma-ketoaldehydes (gamma-KA, isoketals, or IsoKs) are formed as products of the isoprostane pathway of lipid peroxidation. IsoKs are known to covalently adduct ε-amino groups in lysyl residues of proteins, forming stable adducts and intramolecular cross-li...
