MDA Cancer Research Results

MDA, Serum malondialdehyde: Click to Expand ⟱
Source:
Type:
MDA : malondialdehyde. The level of oxidative stress can be measured by assessing the MDA levels.
Since MDA is highly cytotoxic and carcinogenic agent it is frequently used as a biomarker of oxidative stress during major health problems such as cancer, etc.
Malondialdehyde (MDA) is the most widely used agent to estimate the extent of lipid peroxidation. Timely diagnosis of the condition followed by supplementation with antioxidants like beta-carotene, pro-vitamin A, vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E, lipoic acid, zinc, selenium, and spirulina can prevent potentially malignant disorders.
MDA is a lipid peroxidation marker
