Overview

Oxidative damage is the damage incurred by reactive oxygen species (ROS). ROS are generated naturally in the body as a by-product of various metabolic processes, however, when they become excessive, they can lead to damage to essential cellular components such as DNA, proteins, and lipids. This can lead to a range of diseases, including cancer, diabetes, arthritis, and neurodegenerative conditions. Oxidative damage can also be caused by environmental stressors such as radiation and air pollution. Therefore, understanding oxidative damage is important for improving human health and wellbeing. Several treatments and preventive approaches are available to reduce oxidative damage, including lifestyle changes, dietary supplementation, and antioxidant medications. Research is still ongoing to better understand the effects and implications of oxidative damage, and to develop more effective interventions.
