Abstract
Nitric oxide released by macrophages during inflammation reacts with active oxygen to form peroxynitrite. Peroxynitrite nitrates protein and peroxidizes lipids. gamma-Tocopherol traps peroxynitrite and is more effective than alpha-tocopherol in protecting lipids against such peroxidation.Entities:
