radikalhemmer
Radikalhemmer, also known as radical scavengers or free radical scavengers, are molecules capable of inactivating or neutralizing free radicals. Free radicals are unstable atoms or molecules that have an unpaired electron, making them highly reactive. They can cause damage to cells, DNA, and other biological molecules through a process called oxidative stress. This damage is implicated in aging and various diseases, including cancer, heart disease, and neurodegenerative disorders.
Radikalhemmer work by donating an electron to the free radical, thereby stabilizing it and preventing it from
Examples of endogenous radikalhemmer include enzymes like superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase, and glutathione peroxidase, as well
The effectiveness of a radikalhemmer is often measured by its antioxidant capacity, which indicates its ability
