Abstract

Chemically hyperactive forms of oxygen can induce a variety of functional and morphologic alterations in aerobic organisms. Defensive mechanisms against oxidative damage may be involved in the etiology of pathologic processes induced by oxidative stress. Different antioxidant substances are used in treatment of these conditions.
