TL;DR: The present review briefly addresses the role of hyperglycemia in OS, describes some of the more commonly used biomarkers of oxidative/nitrosative damage and includes selected examples of studies which evaluated OS biomarkers in patients with diabetes, pointing to the relevance of such biological components in general oxidative stress status of diabetes mellitus carriers.

TL;DR: In this article, the chemistry of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species, their biological sources and targets, particularly, biomolecules implicated in the redox balance of the human blood, and appraise the analytical methods available for their detection and quantification.

TL;DR: The study indicates that the control of obesity would lower the prevalence of hypertension among Brazilian adolescents by 1/5 and the fractions of hypertension attributable to obesity in the population by 17.8%.

TL;DR: The study findings will be instrumental to the development of public policies aiming at the prevention of obesity, atherosclerotic diseases and diabetes in an adolescent population.

TL;DR: Present data strongly suggest the involvement of oxidative stress in the pathophysiology of diabetes, revealing that the increased lipid peroxidation has a close relationship with high glucose levels, as observed by the fasting glucose and HbA1c levels.
