Reiter R, Tan D, Allegra M.

Journal Article 2002; 23(Suppl 1): 3-8 PubMed PMID: 12019343 Citation  Keywords:  Animals, Antioxidants:pharmacology, Free Radical Scavengers:pharmacology, Free Radicals:adverse effects, Humans, Melatonin:pharmacology,.

: Endogenously produced metabolites of ground state oxygen are highly reactive and destructive to intracellular and extracellular molecules. The resulting damage, referred to as oxidative stress, leads to molecular and cellular dysfunction. The destruction of essential macromolecules by oxygen-based reactants is the basis of some diseas.....
