More than 40 years ago, a study was published that was the first to show that prolonged endurance exercise increases oxidative stress in people.
What is oxidative stress?
- In connection to its potential function in the development of tissue damage in diabetes mellitus, oxidative stress—defined as a disturbance in the balance between the formation of reactive oxygen species (free radicals) and antioxidant defenses—is explored. Major antioxidant defence systems are covered together with descriptions of significant free radicals and their biological sources. Examples of potential free radical damage effects are given, with a focus on lipid peroxidation.
- A wide range of alterations to DNA structure, such as base and sugar lesions, DNA-protein cross-links, strand breaks, and others, can be brought on by oxidative stress.
- The ability of a biological system to quickly detoxify reactive intermediates or to repair the consequent damage is out of balance when reactive oxygen species emerge systemically.
