are strengthened by oxidative stress during appropriate physical exercise and ischemia. Therefore, a more useful definition of oxidative stress may be a “state where oxidation exceeds the antioxidant systems because the balance between them has been lost.” Biomarkers of Oxidative Stress The biomarke...

An imbalance of free radicals in the body can cause damage that overwhelms the body's defenses. If left unchecked, oxidative stress can cause enough internal disruption to result in serious health problems. You can limit the damage of oxidative stress by: Avoiding stressors:Avoid situations that...
Oxidative stress appears to play an essential role as a secondary messenger in the normal regulation of a variety of physiological processes, such as apoptosis, survival, and proliferative signaling pathways. Oxidative stress also plays important roles in the pathogenesis of many diseases, including agi...
Among other mechanisms, oxidative stress has been postulated to play an important role in the rate of ageing. Oxidative damage contributes to the hallmarks of ageing and essential components in pathological pathways which are thought to drive multiple age-related diseases. Nonetheless, results from stu...
The Ayurvedic Guide to Beating Oxidative Stress Oxidative stress—or stress at the cellular level that occurs when your body is out of balance—can have harmful effects. The free radicals that cause cellular stress are everywhere, but don’t worry… these Ayurvedic tips can help. Published Jan ...
How to decrease oxidative stress – can sleep protect you from free radicals? Oxidative stress occurs when free radical activity and antioxidant activity aren’t balanced in the body.17In other words, ; when there are consistently more unstable free radicals in the body than antioxidants can keep...
Phenylketonuric patients present as the major clinical feature mental retardation, whose pathomechanisms are poorly understood. In recent years, mounting evidence has emerged indicating that oxidative stress is possibly involved in the pathology of PKU. This article addresses some of the recent ...
Oxidative stress occurs when there are too many free radicals and too much cellular damage. Oxidative stress is associated with damage of proteins, lipids and nucleic acids, according to an article in thePharmacognosy Review. Several studies throughout the last few decades have suggested that oxidat...
Antioxidants are free-radical fighting compounds that can slow signs of aging. Learn how to find them and use them properly to reap their health benefits.
