Lipid peroxidation within cells occurs as a result of oxidative damage and is a direct marker for oxidative stress. TBARS are naturally present in the biological sample which measures malondialdehyde (MDA), a compound that generates from the decomposition of polyunsaturated fatty acid lipid peroxides. MDA is one of several low-molecular-weight end products formed via the decomposition of certain primary and secondary lipid peroxidation products.
