Table 1 The Antioxidative capacity of an
Antioxidant is determined by its

• Biological Absorption
• Concentration
• Rate constants for radical reactions
• Location Aqueous or lipid domains (or in
  both phases)
• Mobility in hydrophobic domains
• Lifetime
• Rate of regeneration or recycling activity
• Metal scavenging (chelating, binding) activity

Table 2Antioxidant Characteristics

• 1. Compounds called Antioxidants differ in
  their ability to react with different reactive
  oxygen / nitrogen species (ROS/RNS).
• 2. Combination of Antioxidants can provide a
  wider range of free radicals scavenging than an
  individual antioxidant.
• 3. Antioxidant treatment may be beneficial only
  in subjects under oxidative stress.
• 4. Some Antioxidants exhibit additional
  anti-atherogenic activities, beyond their
  antioxidant effect.
