What Does TBARS Stand For?

TBARS stands for Thiobarbituric Acid Reactive Substances

TBARS, or Thiobarbituric Acid Reactive Substances, is a biomarker commonly used to measure lipid peroxidation in biological samples. It serves as an indicator of oxidative stress, reflecting the degree of cellular membrane damage due to free radicals. TBARS assays are widely utilized in research and clinical settings to assess the impact of various conditions on oxidative damage and to evaluate the effectiveness of antioxidant therapies.
