Antiradical activity of the hormonal preparation estrone in lipid models undergoing oxidation

The rate constants and stoichiometric coefficients of chain termination in the oxidation of lipid models (methyl esters of acids of the oleic series: cis-6-, cis-9-, trans-9-, and trans-11-C₁₇H₃₃COOCH₃) by the main representative of the follicular hormones — estrone (313–348 K) — and for comparison by the phenol 2,6-ditert-butyl-4-methylphenol (323.15 K) were measured. The strength of the OH bond in the estrone molecule was estimated.Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Éksperimental'naya Khimiya, Vol. 29, No. 5, pp. 445–448, September–October, 1993.
