General description

Hydrogen peroxide, a reactive oxygen species produced through the metabolism of molecular oxygen, serves as both an intracellular signaling messenger and a source of oxidative stress. Hydrogen peroxide is generated in cells via multiple mechanisms such as the NOX-mediated ROS production by neutrophils and macrophages (respiratory burst) or by the dismutase of superoxide anions produced as a result of electron leak during mitochondrial respiration. Abnormal hydrogen peroxide production contributes to oxidative cell damage and the progression of diseases such as asthma, atherosclerosis, osteoporosis, and neurodegeneration.

Features and Benefits

Compatible with high-throughput handling systems.

Suitability

This kit is suitable to quantify hydrogen peroxide levels in a variety of samples such as cellular extracts and solutions.

Principle

The Fluorescent Hydrogen Peroxide Assay Kit provides a simple and reproducible method to quantify hydrogen peroxide levels in a variety of samples such as cellular extracts and solutions. This kit can also be used to detect hydrogen peroxide released from living cells or produced by oxidase activities. This kit utilizes a peroxidase substrate that generates a red fluorescent product (λex = 540/λem = 590 nm) after reaction with hydrogen peroxide that can be analyzed by a fluorescent microplate reader.

Clinical studies have established a connection between oxidative stress, aging, and atherogenesis. These factors contribute to senescence and inflammation in the endothelium and significant reductions in endothelium-dependent vasoreactivity in aged patients. Tissue-engineered blood vessels (TEBVs) recapitulate the structure and function
