Studies on lipid peroxidation in biological systems I. Effects of various factors on lipid peroxide level in blood.

Abstract
Plasma lipid peroxide concentration varies with the species, strain, sex and age of laboratory animals and conditions of starvation and stress. Mice showed remarkably high plasma TBA [thiobarbituric acid] levels as compared with other species of animals, and the ICR and ddY strains of mice, among other strains, may be useful as experimental models, since they had relatively slight interindividual differences. The data obtained indicate that great care in the management and experimental handling of laboratory animals are essential because of the enhancing effect of stress on the plasma TBA level.
