The importance of oxygen radicals in tissue injury is widely recognized(1). Mutation, cancer, inflammation, and ageing are thought to be caused by oxygen radicals. It has also been confirmed that lipids are peroxidized by oxygen radicals leading to the damaging effects on cellular constituents. Mickel & Horbar(2) reported that peroxidized lipids affect platelet aggregation. The concentration of lipid peroxide in the arterial wall and the severity of atherosclerosis are positively correlated(3). These findings suggest a possible role of peroxidized lipids in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis.
