Roles Classification
Chemical Roles:
antioxidant  A substance that opposes oxidation or inhibits reactions brought about by dioxygen or peroxides.
antioxidant  A substance that opposes oxidation or inhibits reactions brought about by dioxygen or peroxides.
Biological Roles:
Escherichia coli metabolite  Any bacterial metabolite produced during a metabolic reaction in Escherichia coli.
human xenobiotic metabolite  Any human metabolite produced by metabolism of a xenobiotic compound in humans.
fat-soluble vitamin (role)  Any vitamin that dissolves in fats and are stored in body tissues. Unlike the water-soluble vitamins, they are stored in the body for long periods of time and generally pose a greater risk for toxicity when consumed in excess.
metabolite  Any intermediate or product resulting from metabolism. The term 'metabolite' subsumes the classes commonly known as primary and secondary metabolites.
