Measurement of antioxidant markers at children with malignant tumours
Hořavová, Lenka ; Masařík, Michal (referee) ; Provazník, Ivo (advisor)
Tumour disease belongs to one of the most serious health problems of our time. Finding of new indicators to recognise the beginning of the illness is the key role for today‘s research. Oxidative stress is known to be related to the disharmony between the prooxidant concentration and antioxidant mechanisms. Moreover, it is shown that these changes are very important for patients. Further it appears that these changes are very significant with path physiologically critically ill patients. Direct measuring of the reactive oxygen radicals or oxidative stress’ markers is still very hard in clinical medicine. The oxidative stress’ level is watched as the change of the antioxidant activity or alternatively as the antioxidant status. Work is focused on the spectrophotometric fixing of the antioxidant activity and markers signalising the damage of organism. The automated photometric analyzer is going to be used to gain the experimental data. Data will be processed statically.

Spectrophotometry of natural drugs - secondary metabolites of plants
Hořavová, Lenka ; Masařík, Michal (referee) ; Provazník, Ivo (advisor)
Plants are an important source of secondary metabolites, such as substances that have a beneficial biological effect on the health of humans and they are irreplaceable in the modern medicine. They may operate in prevention and in the treatment of civilization diseases. In terms of content substances, the phenolic come to fore, especially polyphenols, which have been related to a number of overview studies due to their wide distribution and high concentration in plants. They also represent an important part of substances with redox effects present in the human diet and have an important role for the plant itself. Currently, many laboratories are dedicated to pharmaceutical and biological testing of plants. Individual polyphenols in plant matrices are determined primarily by chromatography, electrophoresis methods, mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance. Valuable information on the content of polyphenols in plant extract can be obtained also by using spectrophotometric methods. The subject of this thesis is to provide information, characterization and comparison of conventional and modern techniques for the determination of natural substances – phenolic compounds using spectral techniques.
