| Description: Uncontrolled overproduction of reactive oxygen species has the potential to inflict considerable damage on the tissues in which they are produced, a situation called oxidative stress. A series of elaborate mechanisms has evolved to minimize its harmful consequences. The nonenzymatic protection is afforded by antioxidant compounds: Glutathione Vitamins C and E Uric acid These compounds can scavenge ROS before they can cause damage, or they can prevent oxidative damage from spreading.
