title: A new method of superoxide free radical determination in ischemia and reperfusion injury of rat liver.
abstract: The present study was designed to utilize the chemiluminescence (CL) method for O2- analysis in ischemia and reperfusion of the whole rat liver. The results indicated that the O2- level was lower after 30 and 60 min ischemia. After 40 min reperfusion, the level of O2- increased obviously, reaching about 8.3-fold (30 min ischemia) and 9.0-fold (60 min ischemia) (P < 0.001, P < 0.01) respectively. The results also show that Chinese Traditional Medicines ligustrazine and salvia compound can scavenge O2- effectively.
