Protection by flavonoids against the peroxynitrite-mediated oxidation of dihydrorhodamine.

abstract：:In cells, NADH and NADPH are mainly bound to dehydrogenases such as lactate dehydrogenase (LDH). In cell-free systems, the binary LDH-NADH complex has been demonstrated to produce reactive oxygen species via a chain oxidation of NADH initiated and propagated by superoxide. We studied here whether this chain radical re...
