Abstract
The antioxidant activity of caeruloplasmin can be mainly ascribed to its ferroxidase activity which effectively inhibits ferrous ion-stimulated lipid peroxidation and ferrous ion-dependent formation of hydroxyl radicals in the Fenton reaction. In addition, caeruloplasmin can prevent copper ions from stimulating lipid peroxidation.Entities:
