Exogenous N-linoleoyl tyrosine marker as a tool for the characterization of cellular oxidative stress in macrophages.

Oxidative stress and its resultant products continue to attract investigators. Numerous endogenous substances have been suggested as potential markers for the identification of oxidative stress in tissues and organisms. In this study, we present a novel concept whereby an exogenous marker is designed and synthesized for the characterization of oxidative stress.
