Definition of an oxidative stress status by combined assessment of Malondialdehyde and Oxidized-LDL: A study in patients with type2 diabetes and control

ConclusionsWe attempted to investigate applicability of MDA and ox-LDL in predicting T2DM related oxidative stress. Present data strongly suggest that using both of MDA and ox-LDL increases their specificity in predicting oxidative milieu and diabetic nephropathy. Moreover, we showed that HDL levels above 35 mg/dl might have beneficial effect on oxidative reactions.
