Example Sentences:
(1) Previous studies of oxygen-derived free radical generation based on spin-trapping methods have shown a signal formed of six bands (sextet) using electron spin resonance spectrometry (ESR) of coronary effluents collected during post-ischaemic reperfusion of isolated hearts perfused with 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide (DMPO).
(2) (1) The matrix concentration of divalent cations has been calculated from the total cation uptake, from the increase of matrix volume and from the ESR sextet signal of Mn(H2O)L2+.
(3) The ESR spectrum consists of a triplet of sextets (aN = 1.48 mT, a beta N = 0.25 mT and a beta H = 0.14 mT), indicating that the unpaired nitroxide electron interacts with the nuclei of a beta-nitrogen and beta-hydrogen.
(4) In the present study we show that, in the rat, this sextet and cytosolic iron release occur simultaneously, and that this signal can be inhibited by the iron chelator desferrioxamine.
(5) This may be responsible for the production of an artefactural signal observed as the sextet.
