Abstract
The measurement of specific products of nonenzymatic lipid peroxidation, the F 2 "isoprostanes, appears to be a more accurate marker of oxidative stress in vivo in humans than other available met hods. The purpose of this review is to acquaint the reader with the isoprostanes from both a biochemic al perspective and available methods for their quantification as the marker of an endogenous lipid peroxidation.
