The other three antioxidants in this group are catalase ( CAT ), glutathione peroxidase ( GPx ), and glutathione reductase ( GR ). These four antioxidants are unique because they are enzymes and are not consumed in chemical reactions . They can act repeatedly as antioxidants rather than being consumed in this process .
