Abstract
THE possible presence of organic peroxide-like substances in animal cells has been considered in relation to the biological function of tocopherol1, the mechanism of action of damaging radiation2, and the swelling of mitochondria in the presence of various agents3,4. In addition to application of these problems, the existence of such peroxides would pose questions related to their in vivo formation.
