Antioxidant - a compound that prevents or repairs the damage caused by reactive oxygen species Antioxidant enzymes - enzymes that contribute to neutralizing atoms or molecules capable of damaging essential cell constituents Bioavailability - the fraction of ingested compound that reaches the circulation and is transported to the site of action Infarct - a small localized area of dead tissue resulting from failure of blood supply Ischemia - inadequate blood supply to an organ or part of the body Ischemia-reperfusion injury - The return of blood and oxygen (reperfusion) following ischemia generates reactive oxygen species which could damage surrounding heart tissue Myocardial infarction (MI) - commonly called a heart attack
