The localization and mechanism of generation of active oxygen species in the enzymatic NADPH-dependent lipid peroxidation system in liver microsomes were studied. Using the spin-trapping method, the key role of active oxygen species in the initiation of NADPH-dependent enzymatic lipid peroxidation was confirmed. It was shown that active oxygen species are generated via consecutive one-electron reduction of the oxygen molecule by NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase.
