Lipid peroxides &...: The best marker in blood for oxidation is lipid peroxides. See http://www.Metametrix.Com/test-menu/profiles/oxidative-stress-indicators/lipid-peroxides it's also wise to check homocysteine levels, as high homocysteine causes oxidative stress. Urine 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine is also a good marker- see http://www.Metametrix.Com/test-menu/profiles/oxidative-stress-indicators/dna-oxidative-stress.
