Abstract:
Rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis are age-related diseases, in which degenerative changes (arthrosis) and superimposed inflammatory reactions (arthritis) lead to progressive destruction of the joints. Active oxygen species derived from various sources play a role in this process, which may be influenced by appropriate treatment with antioxidants and free radical scavengers.
