proteins that protect cells by neutralizing harmful free radicals
Antioxidant enzymes are proteins in the body that help protect cells from damage caused by free radicals, which are unstable molecules that can harm cellular structures. These enzymes, such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase, and glutathione peroxidase, neutralize free radicals by converting them into less harmful substances, thereby playing a crucial role in maintaining cellular health and preventing oxidative stress-related diseases.
