Lipid peroxidation

 Lipid peroxidation (PPO) is a process by which fatty acids are converted into lipid derivatives, such as ceramide and apigenin. The breakdown of PPOs results in their formation of short-chain metabolites including butyrate, propionyl-alpha hydroxybutyrate/proline acetate, and diacylglycerol derived from glucose. To maintain the production levels necessary for healthy blood lipids it is important to obtain adequate quantities daily with sufficient carbohydrate intake within these amounts on an individual basis. Consequently increasing dietary fat leads not only directly toward hypertriglyceridemia metabolism but also increases hepatic secretion throughout the entire body.
