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.
