Antioxidant Activity and Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) Scavenging Mechanism of Eriodictyon californium, an Edible Herb of North America

<div>Role of E. californicum in the prevention of ROS-induced oxidative stress. ROS are highly reactive chemicals formed from O2. The univalent reduction of molecular oxygen (O2) produces superoxide radicals (O2•‒), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), and hydroxyl radicals (HO•). ECE scavenged superoxide and the hydroxyl radical and decomposed hydrogen peroxide.</div>
