It is a better measure of oxidative stress than just malondialdehyde (MDA). Aldehydes react with the amino groups of initially colourless Fuchsin sulphurous acid to restore the original Hybridization of its central atom to coloured. The colour changesmfrom pink to purple (Triphenyl methane dyes). It does not work with sugar, glyoxal aromatic hydroxyaldehydes and alpha-unsaturated fatty acids. It is therefore a semiquantitative test.
