Abstract
► Replacement of bis-allylic H atoms with deuterium (D) arrests autoxidation of PUFA. ► Linoleic acid with just one bis-allylic D replacement also resists autoxidation. ► Linoleic acid with D at other sites (e.g. mono-allylic) remains susceptible. ► 20 mol % of deuterated PUFA profoundly inhibits the autoxidation of other PUFA. ► It may be feasible to build up necessary therapeutic levels of D-PUFA in vivo.
