Chemical Methods To Evaluate Antioxidant Ability

Researchers conducted investigations to develop chemical methods for evaluating antioxidant ability. The researchers also introduced some biological materials as experimental materials in evaluating antioxidant capacity chemically. The first scheme demonstrated the mode for exploring antioxidant capacity who basis contained four factors. Substrates were compounds that were susceptible to oxidation and the microenvironment imitated the biological surroundings. The applications of erythrocytes, DNA, and LDL combined the substrate with the microenvironment. Treatment of the results from these biological samples with chemical kinetics revealed molecular information on the biological samples. Metal ions, and other oxidants were also applied to initiate the oxidation of chemical agents or biological samples to imitate oxidative stress, radical initiators, and UV radiation.
