Polyphenol-hydrogen peroxide reactions in skin: In vitro model relevant to study ROS reactions at inflammation.

Antioxidants are important to protect and maintain biological barriers, such as the skin. Antioxidant effects are often assessed using clinical trials, however these tests are costly and time consuming. In this work we introduce a skin membrane-covered oxygen electrode (SCOE) as an in vitro tool for monitoring HO and antioxidant reactions in skin.
