Effect of pre-exposure of human erythrocytes to oxidants on the haemolytic activity of Sticholysin II. A comparison between peroxynitrite and hypochlorous acid.

abstract：:Antioxidants are important species which possess the ability to protect the body from damage caused by free radical-induced oxidative stress. A variety of free radical-scavenging antioxidants exist within the body many of which are derived from dietary sources. There is currently much interest in the antioxidant role ...
