Antioxidants of Marine origin
Main Article Content
Abstract
Free radicals are defined as molecules containing one or more unpaired electrons in atomic or molecular orbital that give then, a considerable degree of reactivity. At high concentrations, reactive oxygen species (ROS) can be important mediators of damage to cell structure. However, this ROS are metabolized by antioxidants defenses, some synthesized in vivo and other diet-derived. Oxidative stress can be defined as the imbalance between biochemical processes leading to the production of reactive species and those responsible for their removing. Research over the past few decades has revealed the widespread involvement of oxidative stress in a number of disease states. In this regard, natural extracts rich in flavonoids have been recognized not only by theirs antioxidants properties but also by many other biological activities associated to oxidative stress. Thus, the sea has proven to be a very rich source of compounds with antitumor, anti-inflammatory as well as antioxidant effectss.
