Area of Science:

  • Biochemistry
  • Pathophysiology
  • Pharmacology

Context:

  • Many diseases, including cardiovascular and metabolic disorders, exhibit elevated reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels.
  • Increased oxidative stress damages cellular components like proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids.
  • The efficacy of antioxidants highlights the significance of ROS in disease pathogenesis.

Purpose:

  • To review the role of excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) in various diseases.
  • To discuss therapeutic strategies for controlling ROS formation and mitigating oxidative stress.

Summary:

  • Diseases such as hypercholesterolemia, atherosclerosis, hypertension, diabetes, and inflammatory conditions are linked to increased ROS.
  • Oxidative stress contributes to biomolecular damage, impacting cellular function.
