Comparison of the Catabolic Rates of Linoleic and Oleic Acid Hydroperoxides Using ¹³CO₂ Expired from Mice

Abstract

IntroductionUnsaturated fatty acids (UFAs) , such as linoleic acid (C18:2) and oleic acid (C18:1) , are easily oxidized by exposure to light and temperature in the presence of air. Oxidation of UFAs produces lipid hydroperoxides as primary oxidation products, which are subsequently decomposed into
