The rationale for oxidative stress assays and outlines the experiments performed

Abbreviation	Parameters	Assay characteristic
PCO (nmol/mg protein)	Protein carbonyl groups	Stable end products of protein oxidation
POOH (nmol/mg protein)	Protein hydroperoxide groups	Early products of protein oxidation
AOPP (nmol per liter of chloramin-T equivalent/mg protein)	Advanced oxidation protein products	Heterogenous products of protein oxidation
P-SH (nmol/mg protein)	Protein thiol groups	Redox sensitive functional group

PCO, protein carbonyl groups; P-OOH, protein hydroperoxide groups; AOPP, advanced oxidation protein products; P-SH, protein thiol groups
