Antioxidants Journals

Antioxidants are defined as a molecule which reduces oxidation of molecules. Oxidation is defined as a reaction where loss or increase 0f electrons takes place in oxidation number . Oxidation produces free radicals, successively they produce chain reactions. Antioxidant supplements are used to increase oxidation level in the reaction. Antioxidants work by fighting free radicals. “Free radicals are unstable molecules that, if left unchecked, can damage the cells and impair their function.Your body creates free radicals once you break down food, and that they can also come from outside sources, such as pollution and smoking. The damage they cause has been linked to aging, also as diseases like Alzheimer’s and cancer. Antioxidants neutralize these free radicals.
Free radical production occurs continuously altogether cells as a part of normal cellular function. However, excess radical production originating from endogenous or exogenous sources might play a task in many diseases. Antioxidants prevent radical induced tissue damage by preventing the formation of radicals, scavenging them, or by promoting their decomposition. This article reviews the essential chemistry of radical formation within the body, the results of radical induced tissue damage, and therefore the function of antioxidant defence systems, with particular reference to the development of atherosclerosis.
