Measurement of Oxidative Stress Using ESR Spectroscopy

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Electron Spin Resonance Spectroscopy in Medicine

Abstract

Electron spin resonance (ESR) spectrometry could be a dependable and powerful tool for identification and quantification of free radicals in biological and chemical environments. It is used for the assessment of the antioxidant properties of drugs, medication, and food factors. In vitro or in vivo ESR strategies are acceptable for evaluating oxidative stress introduced by means of reactive oxygen species. During this chapter, some necessary issues regarding the detection and measurement of oxidative stress using ESR spectrometry are mentioned.
