Lipid peroxidation is the most extensively studied process among all mechanisms of free radical damage. The ROS oxidation of phospholipid on cell membrane leads to the esterification in the sn-1 and sn-2 glyceride positions of polyunsaturated fatty acids PUFAs. The unstable lipid hydroperoxide and the secondary carbonyl compounds like aldehydic products are those esterified compounds. Linoleic acid (C18:2), oleic acid (C18:1), and arachidonic acid (C20:4) are the main PUFAs in epithelial pulmonary cells. The Oxidation of these compounds plays an important role in pathobiology of the lung because of its large exchanging surface with oxygen and other environmental pollutants contaminated in inhaled air.
