‘Fatty acid peroxide’ formation in tissue homogenates from mice with hereditary myopathy (dystrophia muscularis)

Abstract
The formation of oxidation products of unsaturated fatty acids in homogenates of muscle, heart, kidney, brain and liver was studied by means of the thiobarbituric acid assay. Tissues from mice having a hereditary myopathy did not show a regular, significant increase in the formation of ‘fatty acid peroxides’ over that of normal tissues.
