| الوصف: | Oxidative stress occurs when the body’s enzymatic or non-enzymatic antioxidants are outweighed by endogenous or exogenous free radicals. Oxidative radicals, reactive oxygen species, and other biomolecule-damaging free radicals can be generated during normal cellular metabolism and react with proteins, lipids, and DNA. In the domains of biology and medicine, free radicals have become increasingly important. They can accumulate in a variety of ways, both endogenously and exogenously. Mitochondria are the primary source of cell-level endogenous reactive oxygen species. In several chronic and degenerative disorders, this results in tissue destruction. In addition to being produced endogenously, antioxidants can also be delivered exogenously to the biological system, most frequently through nutrition. Antioxidants are generally used to counteract the effects of free radicals produced by metabolic processes. In this chapter, the crucial function of reactive oxygen species in human health, as well as exploring the functioning of antioxidative defense systems in reducing toxicity caused by excess reactive oxygen species were discussed. |
