5 Pathogenesis can be avoided by: optimal tissue levels of antioxidants and free radical scavengers improvement of dietary practices avoiding smoking, environmental pollutants and xenobiotics

6 Antioxidant [Halliwell, 1995] Any substance that, when present at low concentration compared with those of oxidazable substrate, significantly delays or prevents oxidation of that substrate

7 Determintion of antioxidants 1) Selective determination of single antioxidant (vitamin C, E, carotenoids, uric acis, bilirubin) 2) Antioxidant capacity (or efficiency, power, potential and activity) chemical reactivity under the specific conditions applied in the assay

8 The measuremet system for the antioxidative capacity consists of: - generator of free radicals - their detector, which allows the visualisation of the generated species and indicates the variation of the measured signal in the presence of antioxidative substances

9 Systems generating free radicals

The chemistry behind antioxidant capacity assays, Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 53,

12 Choosing the method strongly depends on: task the nature of free radicals physico-chemical properties of the test system (polarity, ph value)

13 Chemiluminescence Physico-chemical process whereby energy from a chemical reaction is released directly as light with limited emission of heat. (A) + (B) ( ) (Products) + LIGHT where, (A) and (B) reactants ( ) excited intermediate

14 Example (A) + (B) ( ) (Products) + LIGHT Dye + H 2 O 2 3-APA ( ) 3-APA + LIGHT where, dye is luminol 3-APA is 3-aminophthalate 3-APA ( ) is the excited state fluorescing as it decays to a lower energy levels The decay of the excited state ( ) to a lower energy level is RESPONSIBLE FOR THE EMISSION OF LIGHT

15 The color of light depends upon the dye Colour Sensitizer Blue Green Yellow-green Yellow Orange Red 9,10-diphenylanthracene, 5-amino-2,3-dihydro-1,4-phthalazinedione 9,10-Bis(phenylethynyl)anthracene Tetracene 1-chloro-9,10-Bis(phenylethynyl)anthracene Rubrene Rhodamine B
