We report here that reduced pyridine nucleotides and reduced glutathione result in an oxidation of Amplex Red by dioxygen that is dependent on the presence of horseradish peroxidase (HRP). Concentrations of NADH and glutathione typically found in biological systems result in the oxidation of Amplex Red at a rate comparable to that produced, for example, by respiring mitochondria. The effects of NADH and glutathione in this assay system are likely to be the result of H2O2 generation via a superoxide intermediate because both catalase and superoxide dismutase prevent the oxidation of Amplex Red. These results suggest caution in the assay of H2O2 production in biological systems using the Amplex Red/HRP because the assay will also report the mobilization of NADH or glutathione. However, the interruption of this process by the addition of superoxide dismutase offers a simple and reliable method for establishing the source of the oxidant signal. (C) 2004 Elsevier Inc.
