内容説明

The increase in levels of active oxygen species or free radicals known as oxidative stress induces lesions that impair or kill cells and initiate disease and degenerative processes such as ageing, carcinogenesis and immunodeficiencies. Protective mechanisms have been uncovered in both eukaryotes and prokataryotes, and are being studied at a molecular level assisting the search for ways of reducing or avoiding oxidative stress.
