Abstract

Aim —To develop a new, simple, and cheap method for estimating antioxidant activity in human fluids. Methods —The assay measured the capacity of the biological fluids to inhibit the production of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) from sodium benzoate under the influence of the free oxygen radicals derived from Fenton's reaction. A solution of 1 mmol/litre uric acid was used as standard. Results —The following mean (SD) antioxidative activities were found (as uric acid) in the various biological fluids: serum, 2.04 (0.20) mmol/litre; urine, 176.5 (25.6) μmol/litre; cerebrospinal fluid, 95.0 (26.9) μmol/litre; aqueous humour oculi, 61.25 (9.9) μmol/litre; saliva, 838.5 (48.2) μmol/litre; tears, 247.0 (17.0) μmol/litre; ascites fluid, 270.0 (63.3) μmol/litre; kidney cyst fluid, 387.1 (28.1) μmol/litre. Small samples of the biological material were needed for the analyses: 10 μl of serum and 50–100 μl of other body fluids. In the sera of 48 healthy individuals there was a significant positive correlation between values obtained with the Randox method (as a reference method) and the new method proposed here (correlation coefficient, 0.8728; mean difference between methods, <0.4%). Conclusions —This method is easy, rapid, reliable, and practical for the routine measurement of total antioxidant activity in serum and other human body fluids. Small samples of biological material are needed for the analyses and the results are comparable with the reference (Randox) method.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
