Free radical reactions as compensatory effects of antioxidant treatments

摘要

Element concentrations in total blood and erythrocyte samples were determined by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). Antioxidant capacity was studied by spectrophotometric and luminometric techniques using a Berthold Lumat 9501 luminometer. H-donating activity, reducing power property and total scavenger capacity were measured. Antioxidant properties were analysed in liver homogenates, bile juice, plasma and erythrocyte. Based on the above results the treatments with natural polyphenols and organic Se modify the redox-homeostasis and should be called as compensatory effects of altered tissues is a fact.
