abstract：:It is known that red wines have antioxidant properties owing to the presence of polyphenols and hydroxycinnamates. It has been reported that these compounds are efficient scavengers of peroxynitrite (ONOO(-)). We assayed the ONOO(-)-scavenging activity of plant polyphenols, hydroxycinnamates, and red wines using a flu...
