Oxidative Stress and Nucleic Acid Oxidation in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease

Table 1

Biomarkers of oxidative stress and antioxidant status.

Lipid peroxidationOxidized low-density lipoprotein (LDL), HOC1-modified LDL, malondialdehyde (MDA), 4-hydroxynonenal (HNE), hydroxyoctadecadienoic acid (HODE), thiobarbituric-acid-reactive substances (TBARS), advanced lipoxidation end products (ALE), cholesteryl esters

Arachidonic-acid-derived oxidationIsofurans, F2-isoprostane, isolevuglandins

Protein oxidationAdvanced oxidation protein products (AOPPs), protein thiols oxidation

Protein carbonylationAdvanced glycation end products (AGEs)

Amino acid oxidation3-Nitrotyrosine, 3-chlorotyrosine, dityrosine, carboxymethyl lysine, cysteine/cystine, homocysteine/homocystine

Nucleic acid oxidation8-Oxo-7,8-dihydro- -deoxyguanosine (8-oxo-dG), 8-hydroxy- -deoxyguanosine (8-OH-dG)

Antioxidant statusOxidative stress index (OSI: ratio of total antioxidant capacity/total oxidant status), glutathione activity, superoxide dismutase, catalase, thioredoxin, arylesterase/paraoxonase
