title: Mannitol as an OH. scavenger in aqueous solutions and in biological systems.
abstract: By using the technique of pulse radiolysis to generate OH. radicals, we have determined through the competition with SCN-, I- and Fe(CN)4-(6) the rate constant of mannitol with OH. radical at pH = 7 to be (1.8 +/- 0.4) X 10(9)M-1 s-1.
