Preferred Name	Oxidative Stress
Definitions	A disturbance in the prooxidant-antioxidant balance in favor of the former, leading to potential damage. Indicators of oxidative stress include damaged DNA bases, protein oxidation products, and lipid peroxidation products (Sies, Oxidative Stress, 1991, pxv-xvi). Excessive antioxidants potentially related to immune system and nutrient absorption disturbances.
Synonyms	Oxidative DNA Damages Antioxidative Stresses Nitro Oxidative Stress Oxidative Injuries Anti-oxidative Stresses Damage, DNA Oxidative Cleavage, Oxidative Oxidative Stress Injury Oxidative Cleavages Antioxidative Stress DNA Oxidative Damages Stress, Antioxidative Oxidative Nitrative Stress Stresses, Nitro-Oxidative Stress, Nitro-Oxidative Nitro-Oxidative Stress Oxidative Nitrative Stresses Damage, Oxidative Stress, Anti-oxidative Anti-oxidative Stress Injury, Oxidative Stress Stress, Oxidative Nitrative Injury, Oxidative Anti oxidative Stress Oxidative and Nitrosative Stress Damage, Oxidative DNA Oxidative Cleavage Oxidative Injury Stress Injury, Oxidative Nitrative Stress, Oxidative Oxidative Damage Oxidative Stresses Oxidative DNA Damage Stress, Oxidative DNA Damage, Oxidative Oxidative Damages Oxidative Damage, DNA DNA Oxidative Damage Oxidative Stress Injuries Nitro-Oxidative Stresses See more See less
