Vitamin-induced intracellular electrons are the mechanism for their well-known beneficial effects: a review.

摘要: A new conception of the action mechanisms vitamins and some other compounds without a vitamin status is briefly presented. It based on results obtained through pulse radiolysis, molecular radiation biological investigations, in vitro studies. The data clearly show that antioxidant (C, E, β-carotene) B related possess capability to emit "solvated electrons" in aqueous solutions or polar media. In consequence, well-known effects are attributed emitted solvated electrons resulting free radicals rather than molecules per se, as generally accepted.
