Abstract
The present invention relates to monitoring of oxidative metabolism and is, particularly, directed to a method for estimation of the lipid peroxide load or the consequent inflammatory state of a subject by measuring the concentration of the subject's oxidized HDL (high density lipoprotein) lipids. In addition, the invention is also directed to methods for the elimination of lipid peroxidation products, and attenuation of the resulting oxidative stress and inflammatory state in the human body by increasing the lipid peroxide transporting capacity of HDL.
