Modulation of Cell Death by Oxidants and Antioxidants

摘要: Excessive oxidative stress kills cells. Until recently, however, the mode of cell death was largely ignored. Today, study itself is one most rapidly growing areas in biomedical research. It recognized that many compounds, rather than being directly cytotoxic, actually cause sublethal damage triggers an innate suicide program cell. This process, termed apoptosis, important during development, maintaining tissue homeostasis, and also for removing damaged, infected, or potentially neoplastic
