Serum Hydroxyl Radical Scavenging Capacity as Quantified with Iron-Free Hydroxyl Radical Source

We have developed a simple ESR spin trapping based method for hydroxyl (OH) radical scavenging-capacity determination, using iron-free OH radical source. Instead of the widely used Fenton reaction, a short (typically 5 seconds) in situ UV-photolysis of a dilute hydrogen peroxide aqueous solution was employed to generate reproducible amounts of OH radicals. ESR spin trapping was applied to quant...

Daily hydroxyl radical scavenging capacity of mammals.

Both the formation and reactions of hydroxyl radical (•OH) are quantitative chemical reactions even in mammalians, and so we can reproduce such in vivo reactions in test tubes. Daily urinary excretions of some reaction products have been used to estimate the amount of •OH produced daily. Although urinary 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) is a well-known marker of •OH, we have shown that creatol ...

Novel fluorometric assay for hydroxyl radical scavenging capacity (HOSC) estimation.

A novel fluorometric method was developed and validated for hydroxyl radical scavenging capacity (HOSC) estimation using fluorescein as the probe. A constant flux of pure hydroxyl radical is generated under physiological pH using a Fenton-like Fe3+/H2O2 reaction. The generation of pure hydroxyl radicals under the experimental conditions was evaluated and confirmed using electron spin resonance ...

Multiple free-radical scavenging capacity in serum

We have developed a method to determine serum scavenging-capacity profile against multiple free radical species, namely hydroxyl radical, superoxide radical, alkoxyl radical, alkylperoxyl radical, alkyl radical, and singlet oxygen. This method was applied to a cohort of chronic kidney disease patients. Each free radical species was produced with a common experimental procedure; i.e., uv/visible...
