CUPRAC-BCS and antioxidant activity assays as reliable markers of antioxidant capacity in erythrocytes

摘要

Objective: The CUPRAC-BCS and antioxidant activity (AOA) assays have been developed as indirect methods to determine the total antioxidant capacity (TAC). We examined these assays as markers, in erythrocytes, under oxidative stress (induced by storage) and with antioxidants -vitamin C, L-carnitine, and curcumin.
