A Comparative Analysis of the Antioxidant Profiles Generated by the RoXsta^TM System for Diverse Biological Fluids Highlights the Powerful Protective Role of Human Semina... by Robert J. Aitken, Alexandra Wilkins, Natasha Harrison, Mohammad Bahrami, Zamira Gibb, Kaitlin McIntosh, Quan Vuong, Sarah Lambourne

“…The purpose of this study was to examine its performance utilizing a diverse array of biological fluids including semen, blood plasma, serum, urine, saliva, follicular fluid and plant extracts. (2) Methods: The RoXsta^TM system was used to assess the ability of different fluids to suppress free radical formation as well as scavenge a variety of toxic oxygen metabolites including free radicals and both hydrogen and organic peroxides. (3) Results: Human semen was shown to have significantly (<i>p</i> < 0.001) more peroxide scavenging power than any other fluid tested (10–14 mM vitamin C equivalent compared with 1–2 mM for blood serum or plasma), while urine was particularly effective in scavenging free radicals and preventing free radical formation (<i>p</i> < 0.001). …”
