Lipid Peroxidation Assay Kits

Lipid peroxidation assay kits are available from several suppliers to measure the amount of lipid peroxides within a cell. Lipid peroxidation is the oxidative degradation of lipids through the formation of free radicals. Lipid peroxidation assays measure end products of lipid peroxidation such as malondialdehyde (MDA). MDA is made to react with thiobarbituric acid (TBA), which forms a colored product that can be quantified through fluorometry or colorimetry. The amount of product is proportional to the level of lipid peroxidation that has occurred in the cell. Lipid peroxidation assays are used to assess oxidative damage in cells during pathophysiological conditions and determine the efficacy of antioxidants.
