title: Plasma lipoperoxides: a preliminary reference range.
abstract: We measured lipoperoxides, as malonaldehyde (MDA) by thiobarbituric acid reaction in serum from 80 male and 120 female volunteers to establish reliable reference values and to compare possible sex- and age- related differences. In the present study women had higher MDA concentration in serum than do men (p<0.05) and older subjects had higher values (p<0.05). These age related results support the suggestions that lipid peroxidation increases with increasing age.
