Determination of Lipid Peroxides in Invertebrates Tissues Using the Fe(III) Xylenol Orange Complex Formation
Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are subproducts of the oxidative metabolism known to initiate chain reactions with polyunsaturated fatty acids that generate lipid peroxides (LPO). The objective of this work was to adapt the ferrous oxidation/xylenol orange (FOX) assay to measure LPO in invertebrate tissues i.e.: from polychaeta (Laeonereis acuta) and crab (Chasmagnathus granulata) species. Whole polychaetes were homogenized in methanol 100%, …
