Essential oils (EOs) are of commercial importance for medicine, food, cosmetics, the perfume industry, and agriculture. In plants, EOs, like the wax cover, serve as protection against abiotic stresses, such as high temperatures and water deficiency. The use of spraying with exogenous hormones of aromatic plants affects the accumulation and composition of volatile compounds, as well as tolerance to abiotic stress.

Somatic cells at the early stages of phylogenesis realized the metabolism of long-chain fatty acids (FA), primarily palmitic saturated FA. It dominated the construction of a bilayer cell membrane and as a substrate for oxidation in mitochondria during energy production. Later, polyene FAs became involved in the construction of the cell membrane, the membranes of intracellular organelles, and became the substrate for the synthesis of biologically active eicosanoids.

The control of cellular metabolism is present in many organs and tissues and its loss means development of hypo- and hyperglycemia. The high level of glucose results in glycation of proteins and increase of concentration of ketoaldehyde and methyl glyoxal in cells. The increase of level of this ketoaldehyde and D-lactate in organs and tissues also can be a result offormation of methyl glyoxal in particular enzymatic reactions including decomposition of one of substrates of glycolysis and conversion of aminoacetone catalyzed by semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxydase of endothelium cells.

The existence of lipid-radical cycles in membranes as an LPO alternative has been proven. Cytochrome b5 seems to play the key role in the formation of these cycles. The functional role of lipid-radical cycles in cell metabolism, including the positive effect on microsomal and mitochondrial oxidation, is discussed.
