Background/Introduction: Oxidative stress has been implicated in the etiology of many chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disease. Lipid peroxidation is the degradation of lipids that occurs as a result of oxidative damage and is a useful marker for oxidative stress. Polyunsaturated lipids are susceptible to an oxidative attack, typically by reactive oxygen species, resulting in a well-defined chain reaction with the production of end products such as malondialdehyde (MDA). Lipid peroxidation may contribute to the pathology of many diseases including atherosclerosis, diabetes and Alzheimer's.

Product Notes
The Lipid Peroxidation (MDA) (Catalog #AAA9718963) is an Assay Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. Lipid Peroxidation (MDA) Assay Kit provides a convenient tool for detection of the malondialdehyde (MDA) present in a variety of samples. MDA, together with 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE), is a natural bi-product of lipid peroxidation and its quantification is generally used as marker for lipid peroxidation. The MDA in the sample reacts with thiobarbituric acid (TBA) to generate a MDA-TBA adduct, which can be easily quantified colorimetrically at OD 532 nm. Meanwhile, the absorbance at 600 nm was measured, and MDA was calculated by the difference between the absorbance at 532 nm and 600 nm (To avoid the interference of saccharose). . Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the Lipid Peroxidation (MDA) for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Lipid Peroxidation (MDA), Assay Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
