Abstract—A theoretical model of the kinetics of lipid peroxidation is considered in which the synergy effect of vitamins E and C is taken into account. Approximations simplifying the model system with consideration of the features of the process of lipid peroxidation are analyzed. The obtained model is minimal and sufficiently adequately describes lipid peroxidation at the stages that are significant for effective control of this process as a whole.
