Table 2. Strategies to reduce oxidative/nitrosative stress.
Strategy | Effects |
---|---|
Lifestyle modification (diet/exercise) | Calorie restriction and healthy diet promote antioxidant activity |
Moderate exercise promotes antioxidant status and reduces inflammation | |
Vitamin C (ascorbate) | Has antioxidant function to neutralize hydroxyl, superoxide, and hydrogen peroxide |
Vitamin E (α-tocopherol) | Inactivates free radicals by donating hydrogen group |
Alpha-lipoic acid (LA) | Inhibits NO production by NOS |
Promotes regenerations of antioxidants such as glutathione and vitamins C and E | |
Taurine | Direct free radical scavenger and antioxidant promoter |
Quercetin | Antioxidant promoter |
NOS, nitric oxide synthase.
