Generation and reactivity of superoxide (02 -) and hydroxyl (OH') radicals in enzymatic and radiolytic systems were investigated over the temperature range from 20o-50oC. The generation rate and reaction kinetics of both enzymatically and radiolytically produced superoxide radicals were determined by a cytochrome c reduction assay. For OH' radical reaction studies the degradation of hyaluronic acid was assayed. An increase in temperature leads to a greater reactivity of both radicals, but in the case of an enzymatic source a disproportionate increase in the rate of generation is observed. In the pulse radiolysis system, the reactivity of superoxide radicals was found to be stimulated 15-fold over the temperature range from 20oC to 60oC, although the activity of superoxide dismutase was only minimally increased (about 1.6-fold). The results are discussed with respect to the possible importance of active oxygen species to the biological effects of hyperthermia.
