To the Editor:The recent review by Tarpey and Fridovich published in Circulation Research 1 mostly contains interesting and sound material; however, I would like to comment on the section entitled, “Superoxide Detection, Chemiluminescence Reactions.” Basing mainly on their own data,2 authors maintain that lucigenin-amplified chemiluminescence (LucCL) overestimates the rate of superoxide production due to the redox cycling of lucigenin. Taking into account that …
