- DPPH (2,2-Diphenyl-1-Picrylhydrazyl): A stable free radical ideal for antioxidant studies because it is prevalent and independent from sample polarity.
- SOD (superoxide dismutase): An enzyme produced in the body that provides antioxidant defense against superoxide. Superoxide is a natural byproduct of toxic reactive oxygen species (ROS). SOD protects the cells from superoxide toxicity through antioxidant activity.
