Therefore, a purpose of the present work was to study the effect of DPhO and BM-DPhO in a wide range of concentration (10 -10 mol/1) on the endoplasmic reticulum membranes (microsomes) isolated from Balb-line mice. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) technique and spin-probe method were used to study the dynamic structure of deep hydrophobic and surface lipid regions of microsomal membranes. We suggested the different effects of DPhO and IM-DPhO on the membrane lipids structure, because iod-methylate derivative is charged. 

The most promising of all methods proposed thus far for direct measurement of NO appears to be the use of spin traps from stable paramagnetic adducts detectable by the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) method (Vanin 1999). Such traps were found to be complexes of bivalent iron with hydrophobic and hydrophihc derivatives of dithio-...
