Source sentences:
text: Bilirubin can directly scavenge superoxide but also reduces superoxide production via direct inhibition of NAD(P)H oxidases in the vasculature (Lanone et al., 2005).
text: Bilirubin can directly scavenge superoxide as well as block NADPH oxidase to increase the bioavailability of NO and promote vasodilatation.
