Correlation between acidic potassium permanganate chemiluminescence and in vitro cell culture assay: Physiologically meaningful antioxidant activity

Abstract

There is great interest in the activity of antioxidant molecules, including polyphenols, from food and plant sources. Acidic potassium permanganate chemiluminescence signal intensity was shown to predict the ability of polyphenols to positively act on cellular redox state and attenuate oxidative stress in cultured skeletal muscle cells. © 2010 The Royal Society of Chemistry.
