Basics of antioxidant measurements The antioxidant system of living organisms includes enzymes such as superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase, macromolecules such as albumin, ceruloplasmin, and ferritin, and an array of small molecules, including ascorbic acid, -tocopherol, -carotene, reduced glutathione, uric acid, and bilirubin. The sum of endogenous and food-derived antioxidants represents the total antioxidant activity of the extracellular fluid. Cooperation of all the different antioxidants provides greater protection against attack by reactive oxygen or nitrogen radicals, than any single compound alone. Thus, the overall antioxidant capacity may give more relevant biological information compared to that obtained by the measurement of individual components, as it considers the cumulative effect of all antioxidants present in plasma and body fluids. Free Radicals: Short-lived (1, 10-3 – 10-10 s) molecules and ions having at least one unpaired electron in the atomic electron shell. Paramagnetic – Detection through Electron Spin Resonance ESR Initiation of chain reactions .... Generation: Homolytic bond cracking: Thermal, chemical, electrochemical, mechanical, radiation Endogenous: Respiratory chain, extermination of pathogens Exogenous: Nitrogen oxides, ozone, pesticides, UV radiation, gamma radiation Effects: Damage of proteins, DNA, lipid components of cell membranes Ageing, cancer, asthma, atherosclerosis, cardiac infarction, arthritis -3- 1.1. reactive oxidative substances ROS and free Radicals Free Radicals: Short-lived (1, 10-3 – 10-10 s) molecules and ions having at least one unpaired electron in the atomic electron shell.

Reaction schematics The generated radical is the superoxide radical O2•-, no singlet oxygen 1O2 is created. A simplified scheme is: 1. The radical-generating reaction is: L + hv (UV) + O2 → [ L*O2] → L•+ + O2•In this process the superoxide radical is created by interaction of oxygen with intermediate products of the photoinduced luminol. 2. Part of the superoxide radicals are quenched by antioxidants, remaining radicals are quantified by luminescence-detection reaction 3. The detection reaction is: O2•- + L•+ → …. → hv (blue luminescence) In this reaction between luminol- and superoxide radicals, after some intermediates, some excited compounds wich cause luminescence are created. L = Luminol, L*=excited state, L•+ =Luminol-radical, hv=light/irradiation Luminol plays a double role as photosensitizer and as oxygen radical detection reagent. A little more sophisticated scheme of detection reaction is the following: O2•- + L•+ → N2 + AP*2- → AP2- + hv (blue luminescence) AP*2-= Aminophthalatanion, excitet - 12 - 7.
