Spectrophotometric assay for total peroxyl radical-trapping antioxidant potential in human serum

Antioxidants prevent modification of low density lipoprotein (LDL) by free radicals and possibly also atheroma formation. The capacity of human serum to resist attacks by free radicals is measured by the total peroxyl radical-trapping potential (TRAP). Its measurement has thus far required equipment...
