Antioxidative Strategy for Inflammatory Diseases

Cellular oxidants are unique classes of signaling messengers, those control signal transduction events to drive desirable cellular and biological responses, such as inflammatory cytokine production [1, 2]. However, imbalance oxidative stress causes both cellular damage and biological damage. Thus, it is reasonable to counter balance of oxidative stress to treat inflammation-related diseases by modulating reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. Such antioxidative therapeutic strategies include various endogenous and exogenous antioxidative enzymes, antioxidants, and radical scavengers [3].
