Macrocyclic oxygen transfer in conversion of fatty acid hydroperoxide to a single species of triol in physiological saline

Key Points

• The research investigates the conversion of fatty acid hydroperoxide to triol through autoxidation and non-enzymic reactions.
• Analyzed the autoxidation of 17 S-hydroperoxide of docosahexaenoic acid
• Explored non-enzymic reactions in physiological saline
• Focused on the product's structure and formation pathway
• Identified a single triol species as the main product from hydroperoxide
• Demonstrated the role of autoxidation in the conversion process
• Highlighted potential implications for fatty acid metabolism in mammalian cells
