Method for measuring antioxidant activities of samples and method for diagnosing diabetes or hyperlipidemia using the same

摘要

A method for measuring antioxidant activity of test samples, which attains higher sensitivity than the conventional methods is disclosed. In the method of this invention, methemoglobin, an oxidizing agent which oxidizes methemoglobin, a coloring agent which generates color by reaction with methemoglobin in the presence of the oxidizing agent, and a test sample whose antioxidant activity is to be measured are reacted, and the generated color is measured.
