The antioxidants dilemma: are they potentially immunosuppressants and carcinogens?
INTRODUCTION Antioxidants and a large number of natural supplements were introduced in recent decades (Lu et al., 2013). It has been hypothesized that antioxidant consumption might reverse oxidative stress which decreases the adverse effects elicited as outcomes of oxidative stress including inflammation, carcinogenesis, and atherosclerosis (Ghorbanihaghjo et al., 2012; Bjelakovic et al., 2014)...
متن کاملAntioxidants: how good are they?
O xidation processes are essential in normal cell metabolism. Free radicals, i.e. reactive oxygen and nitrogen compounds, are formed continuously. They participate in metabolic and cell signalling pathways, in spite of their potentially deleterious effects. A system of endogenous anti-oxidative compounds and systems operates to control strictly the concentrations and actions of free radicals. D...
متن کامل[Statins--are they potentially useful in rheumatology?].
For more than 30 years statins have been successfully used in patients with hypercholesterolemia and cardiovascular diseases. Recently, there is a growing body of evidence, that statins exert effects by much exceeding the effect of cholesterol level decrease. Inhibition of earlier stages of cholesterol biosynthesis pathway (not influencing the very cholesterol level) results in blocking the int...
متن کاملMedicinal Plants And Antioxidants: Why They Are Not Always Beneficial?
Oxidative stress is defined as an imbalance between stress and the available protective elements suggested playing a crucial role in induction of diseases. Medicinal plants mostly combat these complications with their antioxidant activities. Several preclinical and epidemiological studies have found an inverse association between the consumption of fruits, vegetables and/or grains which general...
