BIRMINGHAM, Alabama, May 14 -- The University of Alabama Birmingham campus issued the following news:
Many heart diseases are linked to oxidative stress, an overabundance of reactive oxygen species. The body reacts to reduce oxidative stress -- where the redox teeter-totter has gone too far up -- through production of endogenous antioxidants that reduce the reactive oxygen species. This balancing act is called redox homeostasis.
But what happens if the redox teeter-tott . . .
