CESPEDES MIRANDA, Ela  e  CASTILLO HERRERA, José. Lipid peroxidation in diagnosis of oxidative stress of hypertensive patient: Reality or myth. Rev Cubana Invest Bioméd [online]. 2008, vol.27, n.2. ISSN 0864-0300.

Lipid peroxidation is a significant mechanism of tissue damage. One of the more used criteria in its valuation is the analysis of peroxidation products in body fluids. Assessment of these reactive products has few specificity, however, it is used by scientific community in these studies. In present paper authors obtained results are discussed in relation to reactive products concentration to thiobarbituric acid in hypertensive patients and presenting with ischemic heart disease, as well as in patients candidates to cardiovascular surgery with extracorporeal circulation, and in women underwent to hypoxic event. Although assessments of reactive products to thiobarbituric acid like indicators of lipid oxidation has its limitations, it is a very usefulness tool to valuation of oxidative stress in any biological system

Palavras-chave : Lipid peroxidation; oxidative stress; hypertension; ischemia.
