Interesting article on oxidative stress and superoxide
Your body has an invisible enemy. One that it creates all on it's own called oxidative stress, long thought of as an underlying cause of some of humanity's most insidious diseases – cancer, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's Disease, cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Every day, our bodies are exposed to harmful free radicals known as reactive oxygen species as a result of our environment. But, when something goes wrong with this energy extraction process, cells become inundated with reactive oxygen compounds that cause oxidative stress. The search for drugs to treat the problem have been ongoing, and with a complicated problem like oxidative stress, it's all about finding the right combination. Recent research by Bond Life Sciences Center investigator and Biochemistry Department Professor, Mark Hannink, provides a new approach for addressing the problem of oxidative stress and a starting point on developing a drug in pill form. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2014-1...es-cancer.html |
