Resumo

Lipid peroxides have been determined in lipid extracts of human aortas of varying degrees of atherosclerosis. Values lower than 2 μequiv./g lipid were obtained and evidence is presented that these, and the much higher values obtained by earlier workers, are largely attributable to artifactual formation of the peroxides during preparation of the tissue. This does not exclude the possibility of the participation of lipid peroxides in the atherosclerotic process.
