Planning of antioxidant therapies

1. Blocking free radical generation	Alleviating antioxidant strength
2. Decompartmentalization of metal complexes	Restructuring of antioxidant defenses
3. Chelation of excess of iron and copper	Using chelating agents
4. Inhibition of
Arachidonic acid and metabolism	(a) Use of enhancers of endogenous antioxidants
Phagocyte activation	(b) Therapeutic use of synthetic antioxidants
Xanthine oxidase	(c) Selective strengthening of membrane and cytosolic antioxidants
Nitric oxide synthase	(d) Supplementation of nutrient and other natural antioxidants
5. Dietary modifications	(a) Caloric restriction
	(b) Regulated PUFA intake
