The influence of copper ions on antioxidant activity: preliminary study
by Luigi Campanella, Maria Costanza, Marcelo Enrique Conti
International Journal of Environment and Health (IJENVH), Vol. 1, No. 2, 2007

Abstract: The influence of copper on the antioxidant activity of endogenous and exogenous radical scavenging systems has been evaluated by cyclic voltammetry. The results indicate that though this metal may increase antioxidant activity, this is sometimes combined with pro-oxidant activity, especially in the case of exogenous antioxidants, so that the final effect may not be as positive as expected, with the risk of toxic secondary effects.
