peroksidaatioon
Peroksidaatioon is a Finnish term referring to oxidation processes involving peroxides. This can occur in various chemical and biological contexts. In chemistry, it often describes reactions where a peroxide acts as an oxidizing agent or where a peroxide is formed as a product. For example, autoxidation, a process where organic compounds react with atmospheric oxygen, can lead to the formation of peroxides. These peroxides can then further react, initiating chain reactions.
In biology, peroksidaatioon is closely related to oxidative stress. This occurs when the production of reactive
