Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are involved in oxidation of lipids (lipid peroxidation) and lipid membranes are one of the major targets of ROS. Lipid peroxidation results in formation of a variety of aldehydes. Among them, 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (4-HNE) is an alpha, beta unsatulated aldehyde that can be formed by peroxidation of omega-6 unsatulated fatty acids such as linoleic acid and arachidonic acid. In-vivo 4-HNE is reported to originate from phospholipid-bound arachidonic acid. 4-HNE is considered to be one of the most reliable biomarkers of lipid peroxidation.
