Abstract

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are a wide variety of oxidative molecules with relevant biological properties and functions. A redox imbalance, favouring a sustained increase in ROS, generally leads to oxidative damage (OD); associated with the onset, progression, and severity of various pathologies and ageing. This strategic biological importance makes them relevant biomarkers in both health and disease. However, the literature describes multiple difficulties, errors, and methodological restrictions in measuring ROS and OD; to use them as biomarkers reliably.
