Description
This work examines authoritative coverage of the chemical, biological and clinical aspects of antioxidant molecules including particular antioxidant vitamins and other naturally occurring compounds such as melatonin. It discusses current avenues of antioxidant therapy, current research findings, and clinical trials on the protective role antioxidants play in preventing or minimizing free radical damage associated with cancer, cardiovascular disease, premature aging, cataracts, air pollution and strenuous exercise.
