Diagram illustrating antioxidant systems within a cell, highlighting processes like superoxide dismutation and glutathione pathways. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) converts superoxide radicals (O2-) into hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), which is further broken down by catalase and glutathione peroxidase. Vitamin E (tocopherols) and Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) act as antioxidants. The glutathione cycle involves reduced (GSH) and oxidized (GSSG) forms, facilitated by enzymes such as glutathione reductase (GR) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx). The depiction emphasizes the cell's defense against oxidative stress in the cytoplasm.
