Malondialdehyde (MDA) is an end-product formed during lipid peroxidation processes within biological systems serving as a biomarker for oxidative stress The Lipid Peroxidation (MDA) Assay Kit quantifies MDA levels by utilizing its reactivity with thiobarbituric acid (TBA) MDA interacts with TBA to generate a colored complex exhibiting specific absorbance at 535 nm and a fluorescence emission at 553 nm Compatible sample matrices include animal and plant tissues cell lysates plasma serum and urine Applicable to oxidative damage assessment studies this assay provides reliable measurement of lipid peroxidation status in diverse biological samples
