TLDR
Sies et al. as discussed by the authors defined a global concept of Oxidative Stress as an imbalance between oxidants and antioxidants in favor of the oxidants, leading to a disruption of redox signaling and control and/or molecular damage.

Oxidative Stress: Eustress and Distress in Redox Homeostasis

TL;DR: The global concept of oxidative stress is defined as an imbalance between oxidants and antioxidants in favor of the oxidants, leading to a disruption of redox signaling and control and/or molecular damage as discussed by the authors.

Oxidative stress mitigation by antioxidants - An overview on their chemistry and influences on health status.

TL;DR: The present review paper focuses on the chemistry of oxidative stress mitigation by antioxidants, and the specific mechanism of a series of endogenous and exogenous antioxidants in particular aspects of oxidative Stress, is detailed.

Antioxidant Defence Systems and Oxidative Stress in Poultry Biology: An Update

TL;DR: This new direction in improving antioxidant defences for poultry in stress conditions is related to an opportunity to activate a range of vitagenes via Nrf2-related mechanisms to maximise internal AO protection and redox balance maintenance.

The Significance of Reactive Oxygen Species and Antioxidant Defense System in Plants: A Concise Overview.

TL;DR: In plants, there is a complex and multilevel network of the antioxidative system (AOS) operating to counteract harmful reactive species (RS), the foremost important of which are reactive oxygen species (ROS), and maintain homeostasis within the cell as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Short Overview of ROS as Cell Function Regulators and Their Implications in Therapy Concepts

TL;DR: The importance of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in regulating cell functioning and communication among themselves and the relevance of ROS in therapy concepts is addressed here.

Oxidants, oxidative stress and the biology of ageing.

TL;DR: Evidence that the appropriate and inappropriate production of oxidants, together with the ability of organisms to respond to oxidative stress, is intricately connected to ageing and life span is reviewed.

Oxidative stress: oxidants and antioxidants

TL;DR: These low molecular mass antioxidant molecules add significantly to the defense provided by the enzymes superoxide dismutase, catalase and glutathione peroxidases, which are termed ‘oxidative stress’.
