antioxinlike
The term "antioxidant-like" refers to compounds or substances that exhibit properties similar to traditional antioxidants, though they may not fully meet the strict biochemical definitions of antioxidant activity. Antioxidants are typically molecules that inhibit the oxidation of other molecules, thereby protecting cells from oxidative stress caused by free radicals. An antioxidant-like substance, however, may demonstrate partial or indirect antioxidant effects through different mechanisms.
These compounds often interact with oxidative processes in ways that reduce cellular damage, such as chelating
Research into antioxidant-like substances is particularly relevant in nutrition, pharmacology, and dermatology, where their potential benefits—such
While promising, the classification of a substance as "antioxidant-like" is often context-dependent, and further research is
