Vitamin E trials 'fatally flawed'
Generations of studies on vitamin E may be largely meaningless, scientists say, because new research has demonstrated that the levels of this micronutrient necessary to reduce oxidative stress are far higher than those that have been commonly used in clinical trials. view more (2007-09-24)
Genetic pathway critical to disease, aging found
The same chemical reaction that causes iron to rust plays a similarly corrosive role in our bodies. Oxidative stress chips away at healthy cells and is a process, scientists know, that contributes to a host of diseases and conditions in humans ranging from Alzheimer's, heart disease and stroke to cancer and the inexorable process of aging. view more (2008-02-21)
A probable cause for Parkinson's?
Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, Lou Gehrig's disease and other brain disorders are among a growing list of maladies attributed to oxidative stress, the cell damage caused during metabolism when the oxygen in the body assumes ever more chemically reactive forms. view more (2006-06-28)
Targeting oxidized cysteine through diet could reduce inflammation and lower disease risk
A team of scientists at Emory University School of Medicine has identified a direct link between oxidative stress and inflammatory signals in the blood. view more (2009-03-27)
Scientists discover possible link between oxidative stress and non-hereditary degenerative disease
The irreversible neurological degeneration associated with Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases may be the consequence of oxidative stress-the imbalance of antioxidants and pro-oxidants in cells. view more (2006-04-28)
Researchers identify protein pathway involved in Parkinson disease development
Scientists have found a novel signaling pathway in cells that is altered by genetic mutations recently identified in Parkinson disease development. view more (2007-06-19)
Tiny levels of carbon monoxide damage fetal brain
A UCLA study has discovered that chronic exposure during pregnancy to miniscule levels of carbon monoxide damages the cells of the fetal brain, resulting in permanent impairment. view more (2009-06-25)
Scientists learn role of oxidative stress in estrogen-related bone loss
Scientists have discovered new information about an immune pathway in mice that explains how oxidative stress that results from acute estrogen deficiency leads to the loss of bone. view more (2007-09-11)
HIV-1 protease inhibitor induced oxidative stress in pancreatic B-cells: thymoquinone protection
Researchers at the Tulane University School of Medicine, New Orleans, Louisiana have discovered that the HIV-1 protease inhibitors (PIs), such as nelfinavir included in highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) regimen for the treatment of HIV-1 patients, induce deleterious effects on insulin secretion mediated through the oxidative stress... view more...

Naked mole-rat unfazed by oxidative stress
The long-lived naked mole-rat shows much higher levels of oxidative stress and damage and less robust repair mechanisms than the short-lived mouse, findings that could change the oxidative stress theory of aging. view more (2006-10-09)
Air pollution linked to cardiovascular risk indices in healthy young adults
Researchers in Taiwan have demonstrated for the first time that urban air pollution simultaneously affects key indicators of cardiovascular risk in young adults: inflammation, oxidative stress, coagulation and autonomic dysfunction. view more (2007-08-15)
Antioxidant overload may underlie a heritable human disease
Despite the popular notion that antioxidants, such as vitamins C and E, offer health-promoting benefits by protecting against damaging free radicals, a new study in the August 10 issue of the journal Cell reveals that, in fact, balance is the key. view more (2007-08-10)
Anti-aging hormone reduces reactive oxygen species
Scientists recently discovered an anti-aging hormone called Klotho. Now, a new study shows that this protein acts by increasing the cell's ability to detoxify harmful reactive oxygen species. view more (2005-11-04)
Study of huge numbers of genetic mutations point to oxidative stress as underlying cause
A study that tracked genetic mutations through the human equivalent of about 5,000 years has demonstrated for the first time that oxidative DNA damage is a primary cause of the process of mutation - the fuel for evolution but also a leading cause of aging, cancer and other diseases. view more (2009-09-08)
Green tea compounds beat OSA-related brain deficits
Chemicals found in green tea may be able to stave off the cognitive deficits that occur with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), according to a new study published in the second issue for May of the American Thoracic Society's American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine. view more (2008-05-15)
Key brain antioxidant linked to Alzheimer's and Parkinson's
A study conducted at the San Francisco VA Medical Center has identified a protein found in both mice and humans that appears to play a key role in protecting neurons from oxidative stress, a toxic process linked to neurodegenerative illnesses including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. view more (2005-12-15)
When preventing pre-eclampsia, a little carbon monoxide goes a long way
Researchers have shown that carbon monoxide may prevent the placental cell death caused by oxidative stress injury, possibly averting the risks of pre-eclampsia. view more (2006-09-05)
PINK1 protects from Parkinson's
Parkinson disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disease characterized by the selective loss of midbrain dopaminergic neurons. view more (2007-06-19)
Flavonoids in Orange Juice Make It a Healthy Drink, Despite the Sugar
Orange juice, despite its high caloric load of sugars, appears to be a healthy food for diabetics due to its mother lode of flavonoids, a study by endocrinologists at the University at Buffalo has shown. view more (2007-07-18)
Vitamin E's lack of heart benefit linked to dosage
The reported failure of vitamin E to prevent heart attacks may be due to underdosing, according to a new study by investigators at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. view more (2007-08-23)
