摘要: Oxidative and nitrosative stresses, resulting from either excessive production of reactive species or the disturbance in antioxidant defense, have been implicated as an underlying cause a variety diseases. The use natural antioxidants was proposed rational strategy to combat stress-related However, trials assessing effects direct provided inconclusive results. Vitamins minerals were mostly ineffective. More promising results obtained with plant bioactives. Future studies, investigating on signaling processes, rather than antioxidants, molecules delivered specifically endangered tissues, will hopefully revive concept antioxidants' role health disease.
