Summary

The role of oxidative stress in disease pathology is increasingly recognized. At present, the development of biomarkers of this state is in its infancy and the availability of clinically validated assays is lacking. This study will better determine normal values for specific biomarkers of oxidative stress. It will also investigate normal values of taurine, a natural occurring oxidative stress protectant. A primary and specific application of this data is for the evaluation of oxidative stress, levels of the natural protectant taurine, and of associated inflammation in the context of cystathionine β-synthase (ClinicalTrials.gov study: Oxidative Stress Markers in Inherited Homocystinuria and the Impact of Taurine).

Detailed description

This study is a one-time collection of blood and urine samples in healthy individuals. Subjects have to be fasting for 3 hours prior to the blood sampling. A maximum of 7.5 mLs of blood (1 and 1/5 teaspoon) and a urine sample will be collected.
