The Claim

Purified VPO1 and VPO1 in plasma mediate bacterial killing that is dependent on chloride and hydrogen peroxide, and this killing is inhibited by peroxidase inhibitors and catalase.

Source: Microbicidal Activity of Vascular Peroxidase 1 in Human Plasma via Generation of Hypochlorous Acid

What the research says

Roughly balanced

Support and challenge are close. The picture may shift as more studies come in.

Supports
3score
Challenges
0score

These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.

How it works
1 study reviewed
In plain English

Certain proteins in blood called VPO1 can kill bacteria using chemicals like chloride and hydrogen peroxide, but this process gets blocked by other substances that stop these proteins from working.
