Abstract
This invention relates to a method to assess oxidative stress in vivo by quantification of prostaglandin F.sub.2 -like compounds and their metabolites produced by a noncyclooxygenase free radical catalyzed mechanism.
Claims8
A method to assess oxidative stress in vivo comprising:
- (a) measuring the amount of noncyclooxygenase derived prostanoids in a biological sample before the ex vivo development of prostanoids in the sample;
- (b) comparing the measured amount of the noncyclooxgenase derived prostanoids with a control;
- and
- (c) assessing oxidative stress in vivo based on the comparison in step c.
