oksidatiivisilta
Oksidatiivisilta, also known as oxidative stress, refers to a condition in which the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) or reactive nitrogen species (RNS) exceeds the body's ability to neutralize them. This imbalance can lead to oxidative damage, where ROS and RNS react with cellular components, such as proteins, lipids, and DNA, causing cellular dysfunction and potentially leading to various diseases.
Oxidative stress is a significant factor in the development and progression of numerous health conditions, including
The body has several defense mechanisms to counteract oxidative stress, including antioxidant enzymes like superoxide dismutase,
Research into oxidative stress and its role in disease has led to the development of various therapeutic
