CURRENT STATUS OF ELECTRON-SPIN-RESONANCE (ESR) FOR IN-VIVO DETECTIONOF FREE-RADICALS

Much outstanding progress concerning the application of ESR spectrosco py/imaging in the biomedical field has been made in recent years. The literature in this field has already been specifically covered by seve ral reviews. The aim of this article is to provide an overview of the most important findings, obtained in the last four years, in the detec tion and localization of different exogenous free radicals, as well as of endogenous free radicals in diverse experimental animal models.
