Oxydative Stress

Caption

Oxidative stress is a physiological condition characterized by an imbalance between reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and the body's antioxidant defense mechanisms. ROS, including superoxide anion, hydrogen peroxide, and hydroxyl radicals, can be generated by various cellular sources, such as mitochondria, peroxisomes, and NADPH oxidase.
