Abstract
In the present paper, generation, detection and protection of reactive oxygen species (ROS)/free radicals in relation to the author's research over about 20 years are reviewed. ROS/free radicals are generally generated physically, chemically and biologically, and they are harmful to living organisms by inducing various disorders and diseases. To prevent the harmful effects of ROS/free radicals, antioxidants are believed to be useful. Among many methods to detect ROS/free radicals, ESR technique is a direct method and is described in detail in this review. Several topics such as the production of ROS/free radicals by low temperature atmospheric pressure plasma, the evaluation of antioxidant activity using hemolysis of erythrocytes and the protective effects of antioxidants against X-ray induced damage to mice, are presented.
