Major antioxidant defences in mammalian cells. A brief overview of antioxidant defences is offered. Antioxidant defences have been subdivided in those having as a major goal to display protection versus ROS and other oxidants (left panels) and in those (including both naturally occurring and synthetic molecules) able to prevent the chain reactions of lipid peroxidation (right panels).
