Abstract

Oxidative stress denotes the imbalance between the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and antioxidant defenses in living organisms, participating in various pathophysiological processes and mediating the occurrence of diseases. Typically, the excessive production of ROS under oxidative stress elicits oxidative modification of biomacromolecules, including lipids, proteins and nucleic acids, leading to cell dysfunction and damage. Therefore, the analysis and detection of oxidative stress-associated biomarkers are of considerable importance to accurately reflect and evaluate the oxidative stress status. This review comprehensively elucidates the recent advances and applications of imaging probes for tracking and detecting oxidative stress-related biomarkers such as lipid peroxidation, and protein and DNA oxidation. The existing challenges and future development directions in this field are also discussed.
