What is Lipid Peroxidation- Block #4
Scientists know a lot about lipid peroxidation damage, and they continue to find new evidence about the role it play in the ageing process.

---|---|---|---|---|
Scientists made the link between lipid peroxidation damage and organ ageing nearly 40 years ago12.
| Hundreds of scientists including Nobel Prize winners have contributed to lipid peroxidation studies through the field of lipid science13. | There are more than 104,000 scientific journals and over 7,500 books published specifically on lipid peroxidation. | ||
The body defence against lipid peroxidation damage was first observed in the 1970s11, intervention studies to mitigate lipid peroxidation reduction prevent organ damage is at an early stage. | In 2005 and 2009, studies from Harvard Medical School and Imperial College London have both shown lipid peroxidation damage to be a root cause of cellular ageing14, 15. | An ever increasing number of scientists continue to study lipid peroxidation and the benefits of stopping or possibly reversing the lipid peroxidation damage that happens as we age. |
