Antioxidant Protocols

The first protocols book, Free Radical and Antioxidant Protocols (1) was published in late 1998. Sections were divided into three parts, covering selected biochemical techniques for measuring oxidative stress, antioxidant (AOX) activity, and combined applications.

"…will be a considerable help to all experimenters, especially those seeking to explore a complex system and identify the species coming into play from the initial stage of oxidants stress, i.e. the generation of the primary ROS, to the formation of secondary radicals and intermediates, the action and regulation of defense systems, and eventually to the termination of the oxidative reaction….I can but highly recommend the book to all - beginners and experienced lab hands alike - who work in the field of oxidative stress, ROS and antioxidants." - Folia Microbiologica

This book was designed to overview the importance of the antioxidant enzymes in human and plant cells against toxic free radicals, their relationship with several pathophysiologic processes and their possible therapeutic application.
