The convective injection and subsequent fate of the peroxides H2O2 and CH3OOH in the upper troposphere is investigated using aircraft observations from the NASA Pacific Exploratory Mission Tropics (A) (PEM-Tropics (A)) over the South Pacific up to 12-km altitude. Fresh convective outflow is identified by high CH3I concentrations; CH3I is an excellent tracer of marine convection because of its r...

In this study, we assessed the antioxidative ability of 23 natural sources in a meat model system at same addition level (1.0%). We evaluated free radical (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl, DPPH) scavenging plant and their peroxides, as well aldehyde-inhibiting pork patties, over 10 days cold storage. It was found that blueberries, cherries, onions, black tea, clove buds (20.6–25.0 mg AA/g) have h...

The present paper compares the effects of two monounsaturated oils, extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) and high-oleic acid sunflower oil (HOSO), on serum and LDL peroxides, eicosanoid production and the thrombogenic ratio (thromboxane (TX) B2:6-keto-prostaglandin F1alpha) in fourteen non-obese post-menopausal women. The subjects, mean age 63 (SD 11) years, were assigned to two consecutive oleic acid...
