| Abstract | Superoxide (O2 −) is an important reactive oxygen species (ROS), and has an essential role in physiology and pathophysiology. An accurate detection of O2 − is needed to better understand numerous vascular pathologies. In this study, we performed a mechanistic study by using the xanthine oxidase (XOD)/hypoxanthine (HX) assay for O2 − generation and a O2 − sensitive fluorescent dye dihydroethidium (DHE) for O2 − measurement. To quantify O2 − and DHE interactions, we measured fluorescence using a microplate reader. We conducted a detailed reaction kinetic analysis for DHE–O2 − interaction to understand the effect of O2 − self-dismutation and to quantify DHE–O2 − reaction rate. Fluorescence of DHE and 2-hydroethidium (EOH), a product of DHE and O2 − interaction, were dependent on reaction conditions. Kinetic analysis resulted in a reaction rate constant of 2.169 ± 0.059 × 103 M−1 s−1 for DHE–O2 − reaction that is ~100× slower than the reported value of 2.6 ± 0.6 × 105 M−1 s−1. In addition, the O2 − self-dismutation has significant effect on DHE–O2 − interaction. A slower reaction rate of DHE with O2 − is more reasonable for O2 − measurements. In this manner, the DHE is not competing with superoxide dismutase and NO for O2 −. Results suggest that an accurate measurement of O2 − production rate may be difficult due to competitive interference for many factors; however O2 − concentration may be quantified. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
