Dose-dependence of dietary antioxidants in their biological actions for research in human chronic diseases

Dietary antioxidants are substances in foods that significantly decrease the adverse effects of reactive oxygen species, reactive nitrogen species, or both on normal physiological function in humans. Mostly found in fruits and vegetables, they prevent free radicals from attacking cells and damaging...
