oxidized phospholipids

Fatty acids bound to a glycerol molecule containing a polar head group, which have been subjected to oxidation by free radicals or enzymes such as myeloperoxidase and lipoxygenase. They are proinflammatory and are believed to play an important part in the aetiology of atherosclerosis.

Genetic elimination of autophagy resulted in massive accumulation of protein aggregates in stressed cells, elevation of Nrf2 target gene expression, and strikingly a significant rise in various oxidized species of phospholipids, implying that during homeostasis autophagy prevents accumulation of oxidized phospholipids, as well as overexpression of Nrf2 target genes in keratinocytes [57].
