Abstract
In vivo antioxidant activity seems to be quite complicate due to multiple interaction with biomaterials and differs from results by in vitro experiments. In vivo estimation of antioxidant activity is performed by measuring TBA reactive substances in blood or hydrocarbon gases in breath, but these systems do not measure free radical reaction but the final products of oxidative reaction. In the present study, we applied in vivo ESR to evaluate antioxidant activity by monitoring the redox reaction of nitroxide radical and clearly found that the nitroxide is very susceptible to oxidative stress in vivo and quite useful to evaluate antioxidant activity non-invasively.
