Medical: Pharmaceuticals

Hi Friends,
This term is extremely piégeux and I have no idea how to translate it in this context [phagocytes in a different context, but here ...]
"Deux mécanismes permettent de réguler ces radicaux libres :
- Le système enzymatique anti-oxydant de protection : les plus puissantes de ces enzymes sont à base de sélénium. Elles ne peuvent malheureusement pas être produites en quantités suffisantes si l’apport en sélénium est insuffisant.
- Les molécules dites « piégeuses » d’origine alimentaire (flavonoïdes, Vitamines A, E, C, ß-Carotène…)."
Many thanks in advance. Need to deliver tomorrow in the course of the morning.

: Yes, that's it. "Free radicals" sounds like the name of a left-wing political party, but I am sure it refers to incomplete molecules or bits broken off molecules in this context.//OH NO!!

Are they the biochemical splinter group?//And perhaps the scavengers are equivalent to the secret police. Interesting analogy Richard!

: Shouldn't that be "scroungers"? Just took my vitamin C!
