Evaluation of Antioxidant Capacity. What Capacity is being Measured by Which Method?

Antioxidant capacity: Which capacity and how to assess it?

The role of antioxidants in the maintenance of health and prevention of disorders and diseases has received much attention. Above all, the action and effects of natural antioxidants contained in foods, fruits, spices, beverages and dietary supplements have been the subjects of extensive studies. The capacity of antioxidants has been assessed by various methods, but they often give inconsistent ...

Antioxidant capacity of seminal plasma measured by TAS Randox.

BACKGROUND An imbalance between reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation in sperm and antioxidant capacity of seminal plasma has been linked to male infertility. The antioxidant power of biological fluids can be evaluated either by measurement of individual antioxidants or total antioxidant capacity (TAC). The aim of this study was to assess whether TAS Randox can also be used for seminal plasm...

Comparison of Prooxidant-antioxidant Balance Method with Crocin Method for Determination of Total Prooxidant-antioxidant Capacity

Objective(s) Comparison of prooxidant-antioxidant balance (PAB) assay with crocin assay. Materials and Methods Twenty eight serum samples were chosen, PAB and the total antioxidant capacity were measured by PAB assay and crocin, respectively, and the correlation of both assays, along with their correlation with other clinical and biochemical parameters, were determined. Results A significa...

Evaluation of oxidative status in iron deficiency anemia through total antioxidant capacity measured using an automated method.

OBJECTIVE Oxidative stress, an increase in oxidants and/or a decrease in antioxidant capacity, is one of the potential biochemical mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of iron deficiency anemia. The objective of this study was to evaluate the oxidative status and to determine whether there is any relationship between oxidative status and the severity of anemia in patients with iron deficienc...
