The production of harmful free radicals (H-FRs), especially those with oxygen or nitrogen atoms, depends on both internal and environmental causes. The negative effects of H-FRs are greatly alleviated by antioxidant protection. The harmful impact of oxidative stress, or OS, is brought on by a disparity between the defense mechanisms of the body and the creation of H-FRs. Aging is characterized by a slow decline in tissue and organ competence. Age-mediated pathologies start as an aberrant accumulation of H-FRs, which inhibit cells' capacity to divide, repair, and operate, based on the OS theorem of aging. The natural outcome of this situation is apoptosis. These conditions may include skeletal muscle dysfunction, cancer, cardiovascular, chronic hepatitis, chronic renal, and chronic pulmonary disorders. Given the substantial role that OS plays in the progression of many of these illnesses, antioxidant-based therapy may have a favorable impact on how these diseases progress. To ascertain the true efficacy of this therapy strategy, more research is necessary. The aim of this study is to provide an overview of the literature on this challenging issue that is attracting interest.
有害自由基(H-FRs)的产生,尤其是含有氧原子或氮原子的自由基的产生,取决于内部原因和环境原因。抗氧化剂的保护作用大大减轻了 H-FR 的负面影响。氧化应激或 OS 的有害影响是由人体防御机制与 H-FRs 的产生之间的差距造成的。衰老的特征是组织和器官能力的缓慢衰退。根据衰老的 OS 理论,由衰老引起的病变始于 H-FR 的异常积累,从而抑制细胞的分裂、修复和运作能力。这种情况的自然结果就是细胞凋亡。这些情况可能包括骨骼肌功能障碍、癌症、心血管疾病、慢性肝炎、慢性肾病和慢性肺病。鉴于OS在许多此类疾病的进展过程中扮演着重要角色,基于抗氧化剂的疗法可能会对这些疾病的进展产生有利影响。要确定这种治疗策略的真正疗效,还需要进行更多的研究。本研究的目的是概述有关这一备受关注的挑战性问题的文献。
