ROLE OF URIC ACID, CYSTEINE, AND GLUTATHIONE AS CHAIN BREAKING ANTIOXIDANT IN AQUEOUS PHASE
Uric acid, cysteine, and glutathione suppressed the oxidations of methyl linoleate, soybean phosphatidylcholine, and erythrocyte ghosts in aqueous dispersions initiated with a water-soluble azo initiator. It was suggested that these compounds might function as a chain breaking antioxidant in vivo by scavenging oxygen radicals in an aqueous phase.
