Free Radical Research (8 links)

Reactive oxygen/nitrogen/chlorine radicals can damage DNA despite the antioxidant defence and repair systems of the body. DNA damage associated with free radicals is thought to make a significant contribution to the age-related development of cancer. Factors such as diet can modulate oxidative DNA damage, particularly by vegetable intake via antioxidants such as vitamin C, alpha-tocopherol and beta-carotene.
