Abstract

There are now increasing evidences that free radicals and reactive oxygen species are involved in a variety of pathological events. Flavonoids. a group of polypenolic compounds, are widespread in the human food supply. This study was carried out to investigate the antioxidant activity of these compounds. myriceitn and (+)-catechin on B 16Fl0. murine melanoma cell line in oxidative stress. Oxidative stress was induced by exposure to hydrogen peroxide. (omitted)
