Antioxidant

Explanation:

Most serum uric acid is freely filtered in kidney glomeruli, and approximately 90% of filtered uric acid is reabsorbed, implying that it has a considerable physiological role [2], [5].

Uric acid is a strong reactive oxygen species (ROS) and peroxynitrite scavenger and antioxidant [5], [6], [7], [8]. High levels of uric acid are readily detected in the cytosol of normal human and mammalian cells, especially in the liver [9], vascular endothelial cells, and in human nasal secretions, where it serves as an antioxidant

GrogVix [38]
Well... I get the felling I know what question you are trying to ask. Atrial Fibrillation is a type of arrhythmia that interferes with the pumping of blood through the Atrium of the heart. A bundle branch block is an interference of the electrical system through the heart. Non of these are particularly that dangerousso don't worry about dying...

Which type of reef forms parallel to the shoreline but is separated from an island by a lagoon?
baherus [9]
<span>This would be fringing reefs. These reef systems grow near to the coastline as well as around islands and large continents. They are generally separated from the shore via shallow lagoons. They are the most common type of reef system on the planet. They are similar to Barrier reefs which also grow parallel to coastlines, but barrier systems are separated by deeper and much wider lagoons.</span>
