IC50 is expressed as mean ± SD, and data for peroxyl radicals are expressed as µmol Trolox equivalents per mg of sample. 1 UroA scavenges superoxide radicals generated by the xanthine/xanthine oxidase system. 2 The capacity of UroA to scavenge peroxyl radicals was measured by the oxygen radical antioxidant capacity (ORAC).
