Abstract
Free radicals (such as RS•, RSO2 •, SO3 -•, NO•, NO2 •, LO•, LOO•, CCl3 •) and other reactive oxygen species (ROS) (O2 -•, H2O2, HO•, HOCl) along with singlet oxygen (1O2) and ozone (O3) are highly reactive chemical agents which may oxidize several biological molecules such as proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids, thereby inducing cellular damage [1].
