Anti-oxidation

Molecular classification: Other

Overview

Anti-oxidation is not a single molecule or receptor, but rather refers to the biological process or property by which compounds inhibit oxidation—a chemical reaction that produces free radicals and can lead to cellular damage. The term "anti-oxidation" describes the action of a wide variety of substances (antioxidants) that neutralize free radicals, thereby protecting cells from oxidative stress and its associated damage.

Mechanism of action

Electron donation/scavenging reactive oxygen species

Biological functions

Protection against oxidative stressFree radical scavenging

Disease associations

AgingCancerDiabetesCardiovascular diseaseNeurodegenerative disease

Safety considerations

Potential risks of high-dose antioxidant supplementationIncreased lung cancer risk with beta-carotene supplements among smokers
