Oxidative stress is the assessment of the body's ability to compensate adequately to chemical stresses as can be seen in the blood.
The science of looking at oxidative stress in blood has been termed oxidology . It is known as the Oxidative Stress Test. It is a procedure in which layers of capillary blood are pressed onto a glass slide, left uncovered and allowed to dry. In the process of drying, the blood goes through a natural process of spinning as it coagulates. The unique characteristics of the sample are viewed and evaluated.
