| Antioxidants
protect cells from the damaging effects of
free radicals, which are molecules that contain an unshared electron.
Free radicals damage cells and might contribute to the development of
cardiovascular disease and cancer. Unshared electrons are highly
energetic and react rapidly with oxygen to form reactive oxygen species
(ROS). The body forms reactive oxygen species endogenously when it converts food to energy,
and some antioxidants might protect cells from the damaging effects of
ROS.
The body is also exposed to free radicals from environmental exposures,
such as cigarette smoke, air pollution, and ultraviolet radiation from
the sun. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are part of signaling mechanisms
among cells. |
