Abstract

Highlights: [•] Caffeic and ferulic acids were grafted onto chitosan by a free radical mediated method. [•] Copolymers had good free radical scavenging and peroxidation inhibition effects. [•] Copolymers significantly increased antioxidant enzymes activities and decreased malondialdehyde levels in d-galactose induced aging mice. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
