Context:
- Growing recognition of free radical involvement in biological processes.
- Limited accessibility of direct free radical estimation methods for most laboratories.
Purpose:
- To describe current and future methods for monitoring free radicals.
- To present indirect estimation techniques for oxidative stress markers.
Summary:
- Reviews methods for assessing lipoperoxidation, nucleic acid damage, protein damage, and antioxidant capacity.
- Discusses the evaluation of free radical origins and their metabolites.
- Notes the lack of international standardization and result interpretation in the field.
Impact:
- Provides an overview of available techniques for free radical assessment.
- Highlights challenges in standardization and interpretation of oxidative stress data.
- Informs researchers on practical approaches to study free radicals and oxidative damage.
