Abstract

The Effects of pH on antioxidative activities of catechol, pyrogallol, and four catechins, and effects of metal ions (Al3+, Ca2+, Cd2+, Co2+, Cr3+, Cu2+, Fe2+, Fe3+, K+, Mg2+, Mn2+, Na+, and Zn2+) on antioxidative activities of (-)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) were studied by an oxygen electrode method. The antioxidative activities of catechins were high and constant at pH 6-12, but decreased in acidic and strong alkaline solutions. Copper(II) ion the most strongly increased the antioxidative activity of EGCG among these metal ions examined, but iron(II) ion largely inhibited the antioxidative activity of EGCG. These effects are discussed considering the formation of metal complexes with catechins and the change in oxidation potentials.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
