The electron transport chain is shown below.\r\n

Antioxidant Enzymes<\/b> - The antioxidant enzymes glutathione reductase and thioredoxin reductase both require FAD as a cofactor. Thioredoxin reductase is a selenoenzyme. The function of glutathione reductase is shown in the following link. Glutathione reductase can reduce glutathione that can then be used by the selenoenzyme glutathione peroxidase to convert hydrogen peroxide to water.\r\n<\/colgroup>\r\n\r\n\r\n
