Biomarkers of OH radical damage in vivo

L R Karam et al. Free Radic Res Commun. 1991.

Abstract

Mechanisms of formation of o-tyrosine (o-Tyr) and thymine glycol (TG), the two possible markers of OH radical generation in biosystems and in vivo are described. The o-Tyr measurements require invasive approaches, while TG detection may be accomplished by noninvasive analysis in the urine.
