Li se yon scavenger nan espès oksijèn reyaktif ak inibit perokidasyon lipid. Li tou inibi jenerasyon anion superoxide pa anzim Xanthine oksidaz la. Anplis de sa, genistein, nan eksperyans bèt, yo te jwenn ogmante aktivite yo nan antioksidan an anzim disidoksid disutid, glutatyonin peroksidaz, katalase ak glutatyon reduktaz. Daidzein ak glycitein parèt tou gen aktivite reyaksyon oksijèn reyaktif.

It is a scavenger of reactive oxygen species and inhibits lipid peroxidation. It also inhibits superoxide anion generation by the enzyme xanthine oxidase. In addition, genistein, in animal experiments, has been found to increase the activities of the antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase, glutathionine peroxidase, catalase and glutathione reductase. Daidzein and glycitein also appear to have reactive oxygen scavenging activity.
