Description
The study of free radicals and their role in the development and progression of diseases has gained importance in recent decades, providing invaluable insights into the fundamental mechanisms of pathology. This new book describes the role of free radicals and their deleterious impact on human health, offering a deep understanding of the molecular and cellular processes involved in disease progression and helping to bridge the gap between scientific research and its applicability.
The chapters provide an examination of different diseases that are seen to be caused by harmful free radicals. The book also unravels the origin of free radicals and their intricate relationship with vital biomolecules. Through an examination of the diverse diseases affected by free radicals, the book uncovers their pivotal role in the pathology of conditions such as cancer, cardiovascular disorders, neurodegenerative diseases, diabetes, dyslipidemia, stroke, epilepsy, and others. The chapters also establish the delicate balance of the body's antioxidant defense system, which plays a crucial role in mitigating the harmful effects of free radicals on human health.
