unusual facts about free radical



Atherosclerosis

A complex set of biochemical reactions regulates the oxidation of LDL, involving enzymes (such as Lp-LpA2) and free radicals in the endothelium.

Corrosion

Mechanisms which break polymer chains are familiar to biologists because of their effect on DNA: ionizing radiation (most commonly ultraviolet light), free radicals, and oxidizers such as oxygen, ozone, and chlorine.

Iberogast

Named after the genus (Iberis) of one of its ingredients, it is also claimed to possess anti-inflammatory, antioxidative and free radical-inhibiting properties as well as reduce gastric acid secretion.

A.S. Films International

Their first film, A Free Radical, was completely self-financed and filmed using a camera borrowed from C-SPAN, which led to their first trip to the Cannes Film Festival in 2008.

Oxygen radical absorbance capacity

The assay measures the oxidative degradation of the fluorescent molecule (either beta-phycoerythrin or fluorescein) after being mixed with free radical generators such as azo-initiator compounds.

Radical polymerization

Free radical polymerization is a key synthesis route for obtaining a wide variety of different polymers and material composites.
