3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-hyperglycemic and other functions, but how much do you know about the functional mechanism of protocatechuic acid? So, let’s talk about the antioxidant effects of 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid.
3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid can reduce the cell survival rate induced by hydrogen peroxide in vitro in our bodies, and at the same time, it can also help to relieve oxidative stress in our bodies, make us resistant to the activity of peroxidase, and inhibit the generation of free radicals, so as to avoid oxidative damage.
In animal experiments on 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid, we found that it can protect the oxidative damage and pathological damage of animal heart tissue induced by dioxins, and can not only increase the thiobarbituric acid active substances in heart tissue, It can also reduce the content of hydroxylase, glutathione, glutathione peroxidase and superoxide dismutase, thus reducing the bleeding of heart tissue and even delaying necrosis.
