Determination of lipid peroxidation (TBARs) levels
TBARs levels were measured fluorometrically using a
spectrofluorometer (Perkin-Elmer LS55 luminescence
spectrometer, Beaconsfield, UK) with excitation and
emission wavelengths at 515 and 553 nm, respectively.
1,1,3,3-tetraethoxypropane was used as the standard
(Asakawa and Matsushita 1980).
