“…Oxidative stress is induced by a vast range of factors, including xenobiotics, drugs, heavy metals and ionizing radiation (Kaspar et al, 2009). High concentrations of ROS are hazardous for living organisms because they damage all cellular components, including DNA, lipids and proteins (Ames, 1983;Brazilai and Yamamoto, 2004;Chakravarti and Chakravarti, 2007), leading to many pathological conditions, including cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, arthritis, atherosclerosis and inflammation (Grisham and McCord, 1986;Ames et al, 1995;Ward, 1994;Breen and Murphy, 1995;Rosen et al, 1995). It is apparent that uncontrolled levels of ROS can cause a wide range of disorders.…”
