Product Description
BHT is a synthetic antioxidant.1,2 It scavenges peroxide, 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH; Item No. 14805), superoxide, and ABTS (Item No. 27317) radicals in cell-free assays, as well as inhibits lipid peroxidation of linoleic acid (Item Nos. 90150 | 90150.1 | 21909) in vitro when used at a concentration of 45 µg/ml.1 BHT (0.025-3.2 mM) reduces freeze-thaw-induced malondialdehyde (MDA) production and increases sperm viability in boar spermatozoa preparations.2 Formulations containing BHT have been used as antioxidant cosmetic and food additives.
