Preface
Peroxisomes are a class of ubiquitous and essential single membrane-bound cell organelles, devoid of DNA, with an essentially oxidative type of metabolism. When these organelles were first isolated from mammalian tissues and characterized by Christian de Duve in the 1960s, it was thought that their main function was the removal, by peroxisomal catalase, of toxic hydrogen peroxide generated in the peroxisomal respiratory pathway through different oxidases (De Duve and Baudhuin 1966). However, in recent years it has become progressively clear that peroxisomes are involved in several importan
