Biomarkers of oxidative damage as a tool to investigate frailty syndrome in older women
. For the subgroup, an increase in the Kyn/Trp ratio was observed in subjects with an altered Romberg test, concomitant with decreased levels of Trp, Met, Phe, and MDA (p-values = 0.0255, 0.0427, 0.0459, and 0.0173, respectively) when data were grouped according to the modified FTS-5. These results highlight the relevance of oxidative biomarkers as a tool for an early diagnosis of FS and its related complications.
