Hydroxyl Free Radical Scavenging Capacity Assay kit

Hydroxyl free radicals act on biological molecules such as proteins, nucleic acids, and lipids in the body, causing damage to cell structure and function, leading to metabolic disorders in the body and causing diseases. Hydroxyl radical scavenging ability is one of the important indicators of the antioxidant capacity of samples, and it has been widely used in the research of antioxidant health products and drugs.

H2O2/Fe2+ generates hydroxyl radicals through the Fenton reaction, which oxidizes Fe2+ in the o-phenanthroline-Fe2+ aqueous solution to Fe3+, resulting in a decrease in the absorbance at 536nm. The sample inhibits the rate of decrease in absorbance at 536nm, reflecting the sample’s removal of hydroxyl radicals Ability.
