TLDR
This chapter discusses the different aspects of thiobarbituric acid assay of sialic acid, which is suitable for measuring the release of bound sialoic acid by sialidase and hydrolysis of sIALic acid-containing material must be carried out for the measurement of total sialsic acids.

Malondialdehyde and thiobarbituric acid-reactivity as diagnostic indices of lipid peroxidation and peroxidative tissue injury.

TL;DR: The conclusion is reached that MDA determination and the TBA test can offer, at best, a narrow and somewhat empirical window on the complex process of lipid peroxidation.

Estimation of product of lipid peroxidation (malonyl dialdehyde) in biochemical systems.

TL;DR: Alkaline pyridine-butanol mixture dissolves both proteins and lipids that are precipitated or opalescent during the reaction, yielding a more accurate MDA estimation as well as simplifying the procedure.

Thiobarbituric Acid Spray Reagent for Deoxy Sugars and Sialic Acids

TL;DR: An adaptation of these methods for spraying paper chromatograms for detecting the products of periodate oxidation, malonaldehyde from deoxy sugars and β-formylpyruvic acid from the latter two groups of compounds is reported.
