  • Methods for Diagnosing and Treating Medical Conditions Associated With Oxidative Stress
    Publication number: 20140234988
    Abstract: Non-mercaptalbumin-2 is used as a biomarker for diagnosing a medical condition associated with oxidative stress. A method for diagnosing a condition associated with oxidative stress includes determining the redox state of albumin at the cysteine residue at sequence position 34; quantifying the level of non-mercaptalbumin-2 present, non-mercaptalbumin-2 representing the albumin fraction irreversibly oxidized at cysteine 34; and comparing the result to a control level, wherein an elevated level of non-mercaptalbumin-2 as compared to the control level is indicative of the condition associated with oxidative stress.
