Dietary antioxidants and environmental stress.
Air is one of our most important natural resources; however, it is also in the front line for receiving environmental pollution. Air quality decreased markedly following the industrial revolution, but it was not until the great London Smog in 1952 that air quality made it onto the political agenda. The introduction of the Clean Air Act in 1956 led to dramatic decreases in black smoke and SO2 co...
متن کاملThe toxicity of antioxidants and their metabolites.
Antioxidants are used on a very large scale to try to obtain and preserve optimal health. Nutraceuticals and food supplements frequently contain huge dosages of antioxidants. It is not generally recognised that high intake of antioxidants may also have adverse effects. Three antioxidants i.e. vitamin E, β-carotene and lipoic acid are used to illustrate general considerations on the toxicity of ...
متن کاملAging, Oxidative Stress and Antioxidants
Aging is an extremely complex and multifactorial process that proceeds to the gradual dete‐ rioration in functions. It usually manifest after maturity and leads to disability and death. Traditionally researchers focused primarily on understanding how physiological functions decline with the increasing age; almost no research was dedicated to investigation of causes or methods of aging intervent...
متن کاملReactive oxygen species (ROS) and response of antioxidants as ROS-scavengers during environmental stress in plants
*Correspondence: Aryadeep Roychoudhury, Post Graduate Department of Biotechnology, St. Xavier’s College (Autonomous), 30, Mother Teresa Sarani, Kolkata 700016, West Bengal, India e-mail: [email protected] Reactive oxygen species (ROS) were initially recognized as toxic by-products of aerobic metabolism. In recent years, it has become apparent that ROS plays an important signaling role in pl...
متن کاملoxidative stress and antioxidants
the first reaction between food components and biological tissues occurs in the oral cavity. saliva modulates the ecosystem in the oral cavity and plays a critical role in oral homeostasis. in addition, saliva is a first line of defense against free radical-mediated stress. salivary antioxidant defense mechanisms seem to be very important. in this study we discuss in detail free radicals (fr) a...
