Antioxidants are the compounds that protect the body against toxic effect of free radicals.
The protective mechanisms of antioxidants serve to scavange (remove) the free radicals.
Types of Antioxidant System
There are three main types of antioxidant systems:
1. Enzymes antioxidant system
2. Vitamins antioxidant system
3. Minerals antioxidant system
Enzymes Antioxidant System
Following antioxidant enzymes destroy the superoxide radical and H2O2.
The protective action of these enzymes need not be independent. They may function cooperatively.
1. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) (Chain Breaking Antioxidant)
2. Catalase
3. Glutathione peroxidase
Vitamins Antioxidant System
Few vitamins have antioxidant activity and help in detoxification of free radical. These vitamins are:
1. Tocopherol (vitamin E) (Most Powerful Chain Breaking Antioxidant)
2. β carotenes (vitamin A)
3. Ascorbic acid (vitamin C).
