Popis: We have demonstrated a novel antioxidant action of ethanolamine plasmalogens both in protecting cholesterol from oxidation by free radicals and in lowering the oxidizability of membranes, along with the action of scavenging radicals, by the oxygen-uptake method using large unilamellar vesicles and the water-soluble azo-radical initiator, AAPH [2,2´-azobis-(2-amidino-propane) dihydrochloride].
