Thiol/disulfide levels a marker for oxidative stress in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy

Takeaway

  • Dynamic thiol/disulfide levels in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) can be used as a marker of oxidative stress.

Why this matters ?

  • Accurate biomarkers of oxidative stress and dystrophin deficiency are needed as indicators of efficacy in clinical trials and in studies of promising therapeutic targets in DMD.
