The evaluation of nociceptive intensity by using free radicals direct measurement by EPR method in the tail of anaesthetized rats.

OBJECTIVES: The aim of the study was to demonstrate the ability to measure free radicals and singlet oxygen, using EPR methods, in the tail of anaesthetized rats. The advantage of this method lies in the potential for continuous evaluation of free radicals and singlet oxygen during nociceptive processes.

METHODS: .....
