About this book

Expanding upon the research elucidated by the first volume of this collection, Advanced Protocols in Oxidative Stress II presents thirty additional cutting-edge chapters focusing on novel techniques for detecting ROS/RNS, unique AOX technology and applications, gene expression and biostatistics for evaluating OS-derived experimental data. The international panel of authors also provide animal models and numerous studies concentrating on mitochondria during hypoxic conditions using advanced methods for pO2, peroxynitrate, reactive S-nitrosothiols, lipid peroxides, COX, and the mitochondrial membrane potential. Due to the dynamic nature of this topic, this book is the second of several volumes of Advanced Protocols in Oxidative Stress, all included in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology™ series. As part of the series, the chapters of this volume present brief introductions to the respective subjects, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting to ensure easy replication of the technology involved.

Authoritative and convenient, Advanced Protocols in Oxidative Stress II is an ideal desk reference for scientists wishing to further the research in this exciting, unique, and vital field of study.

Reviews

From the reviews:

“This is designed for use in graduate education and describes advanced protocols in oxidative stress in an easy to understand format. The book is intended for researchers, clinicians, graduate students, and junior researchers. I agree with the inclusion of clinicians, who will find this book valuable in determining a global assessment of redox status in their patients. … This volume provides a succinct account of protocols in oxidative stress and will be very useful for graduate students, clinicians, and junior and senior researchers.” (Omer Iqbal, Doody’s Review Service, June, 2010)
