EGCG, a compound with hydroxyl groups, is known for its ability to scavenge free radicals, chelate metal ions, and interact with proteins
Antibiotic-induced perturbations in microbial diversity during post-natal development alters amyloid pathology in an aged APPSWE/PS1E9 murine model of Alzheimers disease
This endogenous activation provides sustained cellular protection compared to direct free radical scavenging by exogenous antioxidants
In low levels they serve a necessary purpose for the cell to function, but when ROS levels increase this can lead to oxidative stress. With all these highly reactive ROS molecules floating around, they can cause some serious damage that results in lower egg or embryo quality and can impact implantation
