General description

Methyl linoleate, non-conjugated, is more easily oxidized than conjugated methyl linoleate .

Application

The oxidation of methyl linoleate in organic solution and phosphatidylcholine (PC) in liposomal membranes induced by an azo initiator has often been used as a model for lipid peroxidation in vivo .

Biochem/physiol Actions

Methyl linoleate may be used as a model compound in oxidation/peroxidation assays to evaluate the anti-peroxidation activity of fullerenes, ellagitannins and other natural products.
