Ratio of keto to hydroxy(epoxy) mono-oxygenated SM and PLPC as a marker of lipid peroxidation propagation. (A) Calculated ratio for keto/hydroxy(epoxy) SM- and PLPC-derived LPPs in liposomes with different SM content illustrated for 24, 48, 72, and 96 h post oxidation induction. (B) Proposed pathways of free radical driven lipid peroxidation described for mono- and di-unsaturated fatty acids in the presence of transition metals. Mono-oxygenated keto- and hydroxy(epoxy)-derivatives are highlighted (blue and red, respectively).
