Popis: The effect of the uremic solute indoxyl sulfate (IS) on scavenging superoxide anion radicals (O 2 ) generated from both the xanthine/xanthine oxidase (X/XO) system and activated neutrophils was investigated by electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy, combined with 2-ethoxycarbonyl2-methyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-pyrrole-1-oxide (EMPO). The findings show that the presence of normalphysiological serum concentrations of IS (0.1–10 lM) resulted in decreased formation of EMPOsuperoxide adduct without affecting XO activity. Furthermore, IS showed scavenging activity against cell-derived O 2 generated from activated neutrophils. In addition, IS also eliminated hydroxyl radicals. These findings suggest that IS acts as a novel endogenous antioxidant under normal-physiological conditions. 2010 Published by Elsevier B.V. on behalf of the Federation of European Biochemical Societies.
