Action B35: Lipid Peroxidation Associated Disorders: LPO


 

European Cooperation in the field of Scientific and Technical Research

COST B35 Action

Lipid Peroxidation Associated Disorders: LPO

 

 

The main objective of the Action is to improve understanding, monitoring and control of lipid peroxidation in medicine and related biosciences and technologies.

 

Secondary objectives

  • improve methods for detection and quantitation of lipid peroxidation for use in research and subsequent application (through biotechnology) to clinical science;
  • determine the prevalence of lipid peroxidation products in various inflammatory diseases and its correlation to disease severity or outcome;
  • elucidate the metabolism of important lipid peroxidation products and improve our understanding of their proinflammatory and other biological effects;
  • develop and test novel antioxidants that could have future applications in therapy for inflammatory diseases.
