Why Has Spin Trapping in vivo Been so Challenging? DMPO (232 mg/100g b.wt.) or over 20 mM average concentration was not lethal. Both gross pathology and histopathological examination of the major organs were essentially negative with no obvious evidence of cellular damage being observed.

Conclusions • ESR spin-trapping applications in biological research has been limited • . expensive instrumentation • . specialized technicians • 2. Immuno-spin trapping assays are heterogeneous • 3. DMPO traps intermediate species • 4. Oxygen is an spin trap and competes with DMPO • DMPO prevents final oxidation consequences • Nitrone adducts stability • 7. Immuno-spin trapping is a simple, reliable, economic, and specific method to detect oxidatively generated radicals within isolated and cellular proteins and DNA. Ramirez DC, 20 of 21
