The reduction of nitroxide free radicals was investigated in detail by Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) spectroscopy in perfused liver. The nitroxide free radical was rapidly reduced to the corresponding hydroxylamine more efficiently at the lower flow rate of 8 [ml/min], while at higher flow rates, the amount of reduced nitroxide showed a significant decrease. Oxidation of hydroxylamine using hydrogen peroxide provided dynamic information concerning the reduction of the free radical within the liver. In addition, liver homogenates were also investigated to determine the level of nitroxide uptake. The results suggested that a portion of the infused nitroxide was taken up by the liver and cleared from the circulation.

D004578 Electron Spin Resonance Spectroscopy A technique applicable to the wide variety of substances which exhibit paramagnetism because of the magnetic moments of unpaired electrons. The spectra are useful for detection and identification, for determination of electron structure, for study of interactions between molecules, and for measurement of nuclear spins and moments. (From McGraw-Hill Encyclopedia of Science and Technology, 7th edition) Electron nuclear double resonance (ENDOR) spectroscopy is a variant of the technique which can give enhanced resolution. Electron spin resonance analysis can now be used in vivo, including imaging applications such as MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING.

D005609 Free Radicals Highly reactive molecules with an unsatisfied electron valence pair. Free radicals are produced in both normal and pathological processes. Free radicals include reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS). They are proven or suspected agents of tissue damage in a wide variety of circumstances including radiation, damage from environment chemicals, and aging. Natural and pharmacological prevention of free radical damage is being actively investigated. Free Radical
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
