Figure 2

Oxygen uptake traces during AAPH (17 mM) induced peroxidation of PC (15 mM) unilamellar vesicles at 37°C and pH 7.2 in the absence of inhibitor (control) and in the presence of one of the various phenolic antioxidants, each at the same concentration (5 μM). The arrow shows antioxidant injection. Inset: relationship between CAF concentrations (1.3 to 10 μM) and inhibition periods measured.
