Lipid Peroxidation (MDA) Assay Kit

Catalog Number:

MAK085-1KT

Lipid peroxidation products are widely used as markers of oxidative damage in the organism. Oxidative stress has been implicated in pathogenesis of hypertension , diabetic retinopathy. It has been hypothesized that hypertension and hyperglycaemia may damage vascular endothelium and retina by inducing the synthesis of oxidant reactive species.

Results Summary

Reactive oxygen species or intermediates are formed by the incomplete reduction of oxygen. Organisms living in aerobic environment generate various kinds of reactive oxygen species (ROS) molecules, such as superoxide , hydrogen peroxide, hydroxyl radical, singlet oxygen, and lipid hydroperoxides. we used for this MDA kit to measured hypertensive animal increased levels of LPO markers.
