Abstract

The growing interest among health care users in developing countries on antioxidant therapy has led to indiscriminate abuse of highly marketed antioxidant therapy. In a normal cell, there should be a balance of activities between free radicals and antioxidants which are tightly regulated by the homeostatic mechanism of the human body. How does antioxidant therapy effect this balance? This review will be throwing light on the import of exogenous supplementation of antioxidants, especially in a disease state.
