External hydrogen peroxide is not indispensable for experimental induction of lipid peroxidation via Fenton reaction in porcine ovary homogenates.

OBJECTIVE: Substrates of Fenton reaction (Fe(2+)+H(2)O(2)-->Fe(3+)+*OH+OH-) may be used to experimentally induce oxidative damage to macromolecules. The study aimed at evaluating effects of Fe(2+) and/or H(2)O(2) on lipid peroxidation in porcine ovary homogenates.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: Ovary homogenates were inc.....
