NO is easily oxidized to form NO2- in vivo or in aqueous solution, and a reddish azo compound is formed with the color developing agent, and the concentration of the azo compound is linearly related to the concentration of NO. The concentration of NO can be calculated indirectly by measuring the OD value at 550 nm.

Glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) can promote the reaction of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and reduced glutathione to produce H2O and oxidized glutathione (GSSG). The activity of glutathione peroxidase can be expressed by the rate of enzymatic reaction. The activity of glutathione can be calculated by measuring the consumption of reduced glutathione. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and reduced glutathione can react without catalysis of GSH-Px, so the portion of GSH reduction by non-enzymatic reaction should be subtracted. GSH can react with dinitrobenzoic acid to produce 5-thio-dinitrobenzoic acid anion, which showed a stable yellow color. Measure the absorbance at 412nm, and calculate the amount of GSH.

Using NAD+ as hydrogen acceptor, LDH catalyzes the conversion of both lactate and NAD+ into pyruvic acid and NADH respectively. 1-Methoxy-5-methyl phenazine methyl sulfate (PMS) transfers hydrogen from NADH to NBT which deoxidize into purple chromogenic substrate. Lactic acid content can be calculated by measuring the OD value at 530 nm.

Myeloperoxidase reduces hydrogen peroxide to a complex. The complex react with o-dianisidine (as hydrogen donor) to produce a yellow product which has a maximum absorption peak at 460 nm. The activity of MPO can be calculated indirectly by measuring the OD value at 460 nm.

The reaction that catalase (CAT) decomposes H2O2 can be quickly stopped by ammonium molybdate. The residual H2O2 reacts with ammonium molybdate to generate a yellowish complex. CAT activity can be calculated by production of the yellowish complex at 405 nm.

Creatinine (Cr) can be catalyzed by creatinase and generates creatine. Creatine can be hydrolyzed into sarcosine and urea by creatinase. The sarcosine can be catalyzed by sarcosine oxidase and form glycine, formaldehyde and hydrogen peroxide. The reaction between hydrogen peroxide, 2,4-(6-Tri-iodine-3- hydroxybenzoic acid) and 4-ampyrone can be catalyzed by peroxidase and form pink compound. Creatinine content can be calculated indirectly by measuring the OD value at 515 nm.

TBARS and TBA can react under high temperature and acid conditions and then form a pink compound, the concentration of which is linearly related to the concentration of TBARS in the sample. The TBARS concentration can be calculated by measuring the OD values at 530-540 nm.

Total cholesterol includes free cholesterol and cholesterol esters. Cholesterol ester can be hydrolyzed by cholesterol esterase to produce cholesterol and free fatty acid. Cholesterol is oxidized by cholesterol oxidase to produce △4-cholestenone and hydrogen peroxide. In the presence of 4-aminoamylpyridine and phenol, hydrogen peroxide catalyze peroxidase to form red quinone compounds of benzoquinone imine phenizone.The color depth of the generated quinone is directly proportional to the cholesterol content. The absorbance values of the standard tube and the sample tube are measured respectively, and the cholesterol content in the sample can be calculated.
