Lipid peroxidation in human diseases: evidence of red cell oxidative stress after circulatory shock

Free Radic Biol Med. 1989;6(2):167-70. doi: 10.1016/0891-5849(89)90113-5.

Abstract

Erythrocytes obtained from human patients with circulatory shock of different aetiology consistently showed a strong increase in lipid peroxidation-derived aldehydes in comparison with red cells of normal adults. The highly toxic compound 4-hydroxynonenal has been recovered exclusively in the erythrocytes of the patients.
