Lipid peroxidation and alpha-tocopherol during an acute respiratory failure after near drowning. 1985

We compare two patients admitted after near drowning. Both presented a severe metabolic acidosis, but only one of them developed an acute pulmonary edema with hypoxemia. An increase of lipid peroxides associated with a reduction of vitamin E concentration has been observed in this later patient. Lipid peroxidation, one of the important causes of disruption of cellular membranes after some injuries, could be implicated in the pathogenesis of lung edema in this patient.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008054 Lipid Peroxides Peroxides produced in the presence of a free radical by the oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids in the cell in the presence of molecular oxygen. The formation of lipid peroxides results in the destruction of the original lipid leading to the loss of integrity of the membranes. They therefore cause a variety of toxic effects in vivo and their formation is considered a pathological process in biological systems. Their formation can be inhibited by antioxidants, such as vitamin E, structural separation or low oxygen tension.
