GlossaryLipid Peroxidation

process where free radicals damage cell membrane lipids

Lipid peroxidation is a process where free radicals, which are unstable molecules, attack lipids (fats) in cell membranes, leading to cell damage. This can contribute to various diseases and aging, as the damaged cells can no longer function properly. For professionals, it's a key indicator of oxidative stress and is often measured to assess the extent of cellular damage in conditions like alopecia and other inflammatory diseases.
