These compounds and enzymatic systems may combat oxidative stress in the human body by maintaining a balance between oxidants and antioxidants. This is particularly important because under oxidative stress excessive formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) can damage biomolecules, such as DNA, proteins, lipids and carbohydrates, and lead to numerous disease conditions. The enzyme superoxide dismut...
