Antioxidant Markers

Antioxidant markers are molecules, enzymes, and other substances measured in cells, tissues, and bodily fluids that indicate the body’s antioxidant status and help researchers better understand how antioxidant systems work. They are critical to understanding the influence of diet and lifestyle on health and disease. Antioxidant markers are useful for diagnosing nutritional deficiencies, monitoring the body’s response to dietary and lifestyle interventions, and predicting future health risks. Measurement of antioxidant markers also helps researchers design effective strategies for nutrition and lifestyle-based interventions.
