concentration of dissolved oxygen was measured continuously <strong>by</strong> a polarographic oxygen<br />

electrode (Hansatech Instrument Ltd., Norfolk, UK). When measuring dissolved oxygen<br />

concentration, background oxygen uptake rate was observed for 4-6 min before Fe 3+ injection.<br />

A working solution (40µl of FeCl3) was injected through a capillary opening in the cell to<br />

catalyse lipid oxidation. A stock solution of 15mM FeCl3 was prepared in 0.5 N HCl. The<br />

working solution of 375µM Fe 3+ stock solution was prepared <strong>by</strong> diluting the stock solution 40<br />

times in 5mM MES-buffer (pH 5.5). After injection of Fe 3+ into the system, a linear decrease<br />

in dissolved oxygen concentration was observed. The oxidation rate was found <strong>by</strong> subtracting<br />

the background oxygen uptake rate from the rate of linear oxygen uptake observed after<br />

injection of iron.<br />

The antioxidant behaviour of <strong>fish</strong> hydrolysates was studied <strong>by</strong> analysing the effectiveness in<br />

reducing oxygen uptake induced <strong>by</strong> iron. The hydrolysate samples were dissolved in 5mM<br />

MES buffer (pH 5.5) to obtain concentrations of 10, 5, 2 and 1%. Hydrolysate solution<br />

(40µL) was injected in the working cell with liposomes after 6-10min of injection of Fe 3+ and<br />

the reduction of oxygen uptake rate (%) was calculated using the following equation:<br />

% = 100−<br />

⎛ ⎞<br />

⎜ × 100⎟<br />

⎝ r ⎠<br />

Where: rh – oxygen uptake rate after hydrolysate was <strong>added</strong>, µM/min, r – oxygen uptake rate<br />

induced <strong>by</strong> Fe 3+ , calculated as r=r2-r1 (r2 – oxygen uptake rate after injection of Fe 3+ , r1 –<br />

oxygen uptake rate before Fe 3+ injection (background)), µM/min.<br />

2.3.1.7.2 Determining antioxidant activity with the DPPH assay<br />

DPPH radical scavenging was determined as described <strong>by</strong> Thiansilakul et al. (2007). FPH<br />

were dissolved in water at 0.25% concentration. 1.5ml of FPH solution were mixed with<br />

1.5ml of 0.15mM DPPH in 96% ethanol and allowed to stand at room temperature in the dark<br />

for 30 min. The absorbance was measured at 517nm.<br />

2.3.1.8 CGRP-Radioreceptorassay (RRA)<br />

Receptor binding ability of immunoreactive molecules was developed using rat liver<br />

membranes and 125 I labelled human CGRP. Incubations, in a 400 µl final volume, were<br />

performed at 22°C for 1 hour (Yamaguchi et al. 1988). At the end of the incubation, bound<br />

and free ligands were separated <strong>by</strong> centrifugation in a solution containing 2% BSA. Each<br />
