Free radicals are the most reactive molecules in the body and are produced as a result of various biochemical reactions within the body. These Free radicals are the molecules with an unpaired electron, and this makes it very reactive in nature. Free radicals are very essentials in many biochemical reactions such as killing bacteria in granulocytes. Free radicals like superoxide are mostly found in higher number and are highly unstable and can damage cell structure by reacting with the lipid bi-layer. This may cause cell injury or even cell death in the organ of organism. At the same if level of free radicals is more in the cell, it may causes the oxidative stress which may results in to more cell death, damage or may cause mutation in DNA, RNA. Free radical is also the major contributor in cancer, various disorders, atherosclerosis, ageing, and in inflammatory diseases. Free Radicals inhibit the antitrypsin which causes the lung emphysema.
In body of living organism brain is always at high risk. Free radicals can react quickly with the polyunsaturated lipids and cause more damage to the brains cells. To avoids the brain injury or trauma conditions usually strong antioxidants are used to reduce the oxidative stress from brain. Level of free radicals increases during cancer, Parkinson’s and in Alzheimer’s disease. In neuropsychiatric illness level of free radicals are very high and they creates additional motor disorders. Increased level of free radicals in body is not only during disorders or diseases. It is observed that stressful condition, smoking, toxic chemicals, pollutions are also contributors in increasing level of free radicals in body. Therefore to be healthy one should have control of these factors and should follow healthy lifestyle.
Free radicals are important to body at certain level, so in nature body have developed a natural mechanism to maintain the optimum level of free radicals. Many antioxidants are formed in the body like catalase, superoxide dismutase etc., also many vitamins play the role of antioxidants in body such as Vitamin C, Vitamins E, Beta-carotene etc. all serve as a Antioxidants in the body and neutralize the bad effect of free radicals. Antioxidants are either nutritive or non nutritive in nature. Bilirubin and uric acid also play a role of antioxidants. They take parts in various biochemical reactions, while keeping optimum level of Bilirubin and uric acid to avoid jaundice and gout respectively.
High intensity, colorful fruits, vegetables are the naturals source of Antioxidants available in the nature. Antioxidants help in improving immune system of the body. Research has proved that antioxidants help in reducing toxicity, help in would heal by increasing the rate of cell generation. Antioxidants help to reduce osteoporosis of bone, helps in keeping arteries free from any damage. Antioxidants keeps the cell cycle normal, helps in preventing the damage to DNA, RNA. Antioxidants are also used as preservatives in many food products and in many cosmetic products.
Now days many pharmaceuticals companies have launch many products which have a combination of vitamins, minerals and many antioxidants as a part supplements. Strong antioxidants are also used as prophylactic treatment in fertility related disorders in body, research has proved that high amount of consumption of antioxidants have help in improve count of sperms in male.
Antioxidants are now used in acute CNS treatments, Lipoic adic is being considered as antioxidants. Antioxidant as it helps in fighting the ageing process. Lipoic acid reduces the oxidative stress from the cells of eye, myocardial cell, and so help in preventing from heart attack and cataracts. Antioxidants are used in treating the fried Reich ataxia which causes nervous system damage. Recent studies have proven that selenium is used as cancer preventing antioxidants. Lycopene is strong antioxidants now a day’s used in treating cancer. Lanthanides are also used for treating cancers. Antioxidants help in keeping erythrocytes in healthy condition by preventing them from free radicals. Antioxidants also help preventing coronary artery disease. Use of antioxidants has help in preventing the side effect’s caused by the chemotherapy used in cancer treatment and had shown less acidity related problem in patients. Therefore antioxidants play a vital role for improving health and in treatments of numerous malignant and cardio logical related diseases.
