Rationale for change

Free radicals are created by free serum metal ions, and the body solves this problem by using metal carrier proteins. They do however not *eliminate* free radicals once they're already formed, that's the job of anti-oxidants etc.

Source:
Expand the note the note after the section stating "Chelation or sequestration by metal carrier proteins (transferrin, ceruloplasmin)" here:

https://next.amboss.com/us/article/VP0GdT?q=free%20radical#Z51158cb80b552a12e27be5f3a026d8f7

And you get this text:

"More precisely, metal carrier proteins chelate or sequester transition metals, thereby preventing free radical formation in the first place. "
