Since investigations so far carried out provided an unclear picture of the mechanism of the
antioxidant action of gamma-oryzanol, the aim of the present work has been the contribution to
the elucidation of its the molecular mechanisms by using in vitro, previously well-characterized,
experimental models (such as scavenging of DPPH° ROS scavenging, Fe and azocompound
triggered lipoperoxidation) that allow us to study the reactions involved in the complex process
of lipoperoxidation
