Electron paramagnetic resonance investigations of free radicals in extra virgin olive oilsM F Ottaviani
Institute of Chemical Sciences, University of Urbino, P zza Rinascimento 6, 61029 Urbino PU, Italy
J Agric Food Chem 49:3691-6. 2001..This study demonstrates that the EPR technique is suitably applied to the detection of free radicals in olive oil and that storage, handling, and stress conditions of the oils significantly influence the radical concentration...
Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase in small intestine of rabbit: biochemical properties and subcellular localizationP Ninfali
Istituto di Chimica Biologica G Fornaini, University of Urbino, Italy

Variability of oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) in different animal speciesP Ninfali
Istituto di Chimica Biologica G Fornaini, Universita di Urbino, Urbino PS, Italy
Free Radic Res 29:399-408. 1998..We conclude that species with the highest ORAC-T, like cat and chicken, or with the highest ORAC-AS, like dolphin, are interesting models to study the reasons of such a marked antioxidant defense in the plasma...
Postnatal expression of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase in different brain areasP Ninfali
Istituto di Chimica Biologica, Universita di Urbino, Italy
Neurochem Res 23:1197-204. 1998..It is likely that this enzyme induction increases the antioxidant defense of periglomerular cells that are subject to a rapid renewal and thus much more exposed to oxidant stress...
