Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are involved in lipid peroxidation inside the living bodies, and membrane lipids are one of the major targets of ROS. During the peroxidation process, a variery of aldehydes are formed. 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. Especially, 4-HNE formed inside living body is reported to originate from phospholipid-bound arachidonic acid. 4-HNE may be one of the most reliable biomarker of lipid peroxidation.
