Lipid peroxidation assessment v1

Lipid peroxidation (LP) is determined by quantifying the malondialdehyde (MDA) content in the homogenate supernatant in the caudal adjacent segment to epicenter by colorimetric reaction with thiobarbituric acid (TBA) at high temperatures. Malondialdehyde is the principal and most studied product of polyunsaturated fatty acid peroxidation.
