title: [Detection methods of free radical related substances and the system for their elimination].
abstract: Lipid peroxide and SOD were selected as free radical related substances and system for their elimination, and detection was evaluated. NADPH-Cytochrome c reductase-Neotetrazolium (NT) method (Mic-NT method) and Xanthine oxidase-Nitrotetrazolium Blue method (XOD-NTB method) are current detection methods of SOD activities. They are based on the O2-specific reaction. Minimum detectable amount of SOD by the Mic-NT method and XOD-NTB method was about 15 ng and 200 ng, respectively. On the other hand, an XOD-NH2OH method which detects SOD activities based on the O2-specific oxidation reaction showed the minimum detectable amount of 2.5 ng. Consequently, SOD-detecting sensitivity of these methods was found to be in the following order: XOD-NH2OH method greater than Mic-NT method greater than XOD-NTB method. In addition, albumin caused a positive error in all three methods. With a monoclonal antibody-aided SOD-analyzing method (EIA method), the minimum detectable amount of SOD was 0.2 ng. The isoenzymes of SOD (Cu, Zn-SOD and Mn-SOD) could be detected separately by 1. deactivating Cu, Zn-SOD with CN- or H2O2 and regarding the remaining activity as Mn-SOD and 2. by deactivating Mn-SOD selectively through pretreatment of the sample with SDS and regarding the remaining activity as Cu, Zn-SOD. TBA method (Yagi's method) has been used frequently for the measurement of serum lipid peroxide.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
