Nonenzymatic lipid peroxidation steps

Step	Reactions
Initiation	LH + HO^· → L^· + H₂O
Propagation	L^· + O₂ → LOO^·
	LOO^· + LH → LOOH + L^·
	LOOH → LO^·, LOO^·, HO^·
	LOOH + Mⁿ → LO^· + HO^· + Mⁿ⁺¹
	LOOH + Mⁿ⁺¹ → LOO^· + H^· + Mⁿ
Termination	L^· + L^· → L+L
	L^· + LOO^· → LOOL
	LOO^· + LOO^· → LOOL + O₂
	LOO^· + α-tocopherol → LOOH

L+L: Fatty acid dimer; L^·: lipid radical; LH: lipid containing carbon-carbon double bound; LO^·: alkoxyl radical; LOO^·: lipid peroxy radical; LOOH: lipid hydroperoxide; LOOL: peroxide bridge dimer; M: transition metal; OH^·: hydroxyl radical.
