2.4.1. Oxidative Labs
OXIDATIVE STRESS, OXIDATIVE STRESS
Subjects underwent laboratory studies to assess oxidative burden pre- and post-treatment during the study period. Oxidative Stress Analysis 2.0 was performed by Geneva Diagnostics and included a battery of tests to quantify oxidative stress. Specifically, this panel looks at (I) reduction–oxidation reserve including glutathione, total antioxidant capacity, cysteine, cystine, cysteine/cystine ratio, sulphate, cysteine/sulphate ratio; (II) protective enzymes including superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase; (III) cellular damage as measured by lipid peroxides.
