EPR conditions to best study tissues (1)
It depends on what radicals one wants to measure !
Room temperature
RT measurement can be done using a
quartz tube (for tooth/bone
samples) and a tissue EPR flat cell
(for wet tissue). Organic radicals
are normally detected at RT. Mn2+
may also be detected with six
broad lines (span over 600 G).
For wet tissue, radicals from
exogenously added precursors
(e.g., chemical, redox cyclers), and
spin trap adducts (for spin
trapping experiment), can be easily
detectable.
EPR, detection of radicals in tissue
Frozen measurement
Liquid nitrogen temperature
measurement is commonly used to
detect metal centers with an
unpaired electron such as
nitrosyl iron complexes (g~2.04, and
gani ~2.1-2.0), iron (III) (e.g.,
cytochrome p450‘s in liver, g~6),
Fe(III)-desferal (g~4.3), Mn2+ (6
lines), and Cu+2 (gani at 2.1-2.0).

EPR conditions to best study tissues (2)
It depends on what radicals one wants to measure !
Direct EPR

High fluxes of radical generation
have to be produced. This can be
achieved from tissue metabolism
of a compound by adding it
directly to tissue, and measure.

At optimal conditions, ascorbate
radical can be directly detected,
e.g., with UV exposure of mouse
skin, or treatment with peroxides
or redox cyclers.
EPR, detection of radicals in tissue
Spin trapping

Spin trapping is appropriate to
detect diatomic, triatomic radicals
such as, hydoxyl, superoxide,
sulfite radicals as well as
lipid/carbon centered radicals from
the tissue itself.

Spin trap can be direclty added to
tissue or topically applied on
mouse skin (prior to a stress
treatment). DMPO, DEPMPO, 4POBN have been used in tissue
and skin of lab animals.
