CheKine™ Lipid Peroxidation (MDA) Assay kit | KTB1050

Product Overwiew:

Abbkine CheKine™ Lipid Peroxidation (MDA) Assay kit is designed for the quantitative determination of lipid peroxidation.

Background:

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.
