title: [A simple and sensitive method of determination of superoxide dismutase activity based on the reaction of quercetin oxidation].
abstract: An indirect method for determination of superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, based on inhibition of quercetin autooxidation, was developed. The optimal conditions of reaction ensuring high sensitivity of measurement (I50 = 1.5 ng/ml) were selected. NaN3, catalase and physiological concentrations of ascorbic acid did not interfere with the SOD estimation in blood and tissue homogenates.
