Using electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy, we examined whether reactive oxygen intermediates (ROIs) are produced after reperfusion of isolated, perfused rat livers subjected to global ischemia (10, 30, 60, and 90 min of ischemia). A few drops of effluent (200 microliters) flowed from reperfused liver was mixed immediately with 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline-N-oxide (DMPO, final concentration 1 M), and ESR measurements were then performed. Immediately after reperfusion, a small amount of ascorbic acid radical and DMPO-OOH, which was formed by the reaction of superoxide with DMPO, was detected. The amount of ascorbic acid radical peaked immediately after reperfusion, but became hardly detectable at 6 min after reperfusion, irrespective of the period of ischemia. Six minutes after reperfusion, not only DMPO-OOH but also DMPO-OH, which was formed by the reaction of hydroxyl radical with DMPO, was detected. Thereafter, DMPO-OOH and DMPO-OH gradually declined and became hardly detectable at 40 min after reperfusion. In accordance with the duration of ischemia, the concentrations of DMPO-OOH and DMPO-OH were highest after 60 min of ischemia, and then after 30, 90, and 10 min of ischemia in decreasing order. These results directly demonstrate that the production of ROIs occurs at an early stage of reperfusion in ischemic liver and that the amount of ROI production is closely related to the duration of ischemia.

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

D001205 Ascorbic Acid A six carbon compound related to glucose. It is found naturally in citrus fruits and many vegetables. Ascorbic acid is an essential nutrient in human diets, and necessary to maintain connective tissue and bone. Its biologically active form, vitamin C, functions as a reducing agent and coenzyme in several metabolic pathways. Vitamin C is considered an antioxidant.

D013481 Superoxides Highly reactive compounds produced when oxygen is reduced by a single electron. In biological systems, they may be generated during the normal catalytic function of a number of enzymes and during the oxidation of hemoglobin to METHEMOGLOBIN. In living organisms, SUPEROXIDE DISMUTASE protects the cell from the deleterious effects of superoxides. Superoxide Radical,Superoxide,Superoxide Anion
