These compounds have varying degrees of activity as free radical scavengers.
Some scientists believe that the treatment of Down syndrome neurons with free radical scavengers can substantially prevent neuronal degeneration.
By acting as free radical scavengers, further free radical reactions are prevented.
Edaravone is a synthetic-free radical scavenger and has been proved to be effective.
Canthaxanthin is a potent radical scavenger and nature's most powerful lipid-soluble antioxidant.
The reaction is insensitive to radical scavengers and therefore a free radical mechanism can be ruled out.
In normal functioning, there are antioxidants in the system that act as free radical scavengers.
The job of an antioxidant is to act as a radical scavenger, either accepting or donating an electron to a radical species.
A1M binds and degrades heme, is a radical scavenger as well as a reductase.
The capacity of verbascoside to act as an effective radical scavenger in lipophilic environments was also shown.
