Summary

The deterioration of animal tissue during storage due to lipid peroxidation may be important when biological specimens are stored for batched assay. This experiment demonstrates that malondialdehyde content in stored liver homogenates increases with storage period at temperatures of -20 deg C and to a lesser extent at -70 deg C. Specimens for free radical assays should therefore be stored at -196 deg C where no increase in malondialdehyde is demonstrated.
