Only ferulic acid anion among the phenolcarboxylic acids scavenged superoxide. Caffeic acid and ferulic acid inhibited lipid peroxidation induced by superoxide anion. These effects were comparable to those of superoxide dismutase or DL-α-tocopherol. Key words Superoxide anion - lipid peroxide production - phenolcarboxylic acids - caffeic acid - p-coumaric acid - ferulic acid - active oxygen species PDF (179 kb)
