September 14, 201114 yr Lipid peroxides and hydrogen peroxide are generated in light-exposed TPN. Light-sensitized riboflavin present in parenteral multivitamin preparations catalyzes electron transfer between electron donors, such as vitamin C, amino acids, or lipids and oxygen dissolved in the total parenteral nutrition (TPN) solution. Hydrogen peroxide is the major peroxide generated in the TPN solution.
