Hepatic concentration of hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) and malondialdehyde (MDA) increases in respect to the hepatic concentration of stored triglycerides (TGs). The steady state concentrations of H₂O₂ and MDA after simulation of transient hypoxia followed by reoxygenation are similar to the steady state concentrations under normoxic conditions for low to moderate hepatic TG concentrations. Livers with higher TG accumulation showed a sharp and stable increase of H₂O₂ and MDA concentrations after reoxygenation.
