Abstract

The oxyradicals, oxygen free radicals, or reactive oxygen species and their deleterious consequences began to be recognized throughout the cientific community in the last two decades. They reached more popularity only in the last few years, mainly as a consequence of their involvement in many pathologies and the aging process. The use of antioxidant therapies as well as the microelement and vitamine supplementations are still in debate. The absence of standard methods regarding such procedures may be responsible for this controversy despite the bulk of scientific production that give support to this knowledge.
