Accumulation of γKetoaldehyde-modified Protein in Normal and Fibrotic Lung

γKetoaldehydes are generated by free radical peroxidation and cyclooxygenation of phospholipid-esterified arachidonic acid. γKetoaldehydes covalently bind to protein lysine residues and is emerging as a mechanistic link between pathogenic reactive oxygen species and disease progression. However, t...
