Oxidative stress — a term often heard in discussions about health, welfare and well-being — goes beyond just free radicals and antioxidants. It’s a complex phenomenon that causes chaos in all cells of the body.
Production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is a natural consequence of life. It arises within the cells of animals as a byproduct of metabolic processes, especially in the mitochondria, where energy is produced.
Normally, the body has a finely tuned system to maintain a balance between ROS production and the action of antioxidants. Oxidative stress is the result of an imbalance between ROS and the body’s ability to counteract or neutralize their harmful effect with antioxidants. This imbalance can occur due to an overproduction of ROS or a depleted antioxidant system.
We are pleased to share with you this white paper where you will investigate the world of oxidative stress, exploring its intricacies and how it influences animal health.
