Vitamin E
Protects lipids from the cell membrane bilayer from
attack by free radicals
Vitamin C
Quenches 1O2 in cytosol
Recycles vitamin E after it captures free radicals
14
Carotenoids
Beta-carotene quenches 1O2; may also inhibit free-radicalgenerating reactions
Autoregenerate with release of thermal energy
15
Selenium
Constituent of glutathione peroxidase
Manganese
Constituent of superoxide dismutase (MnSOD)
Copper, zinc
Constituents of superoxide dismutase (CuZnSOD)
