Atherosclerosis, Free radicals, InflammationAbstract
This review deals with free radicals and their relationship with the inflammatory process in atherosclerosis. Oxidative stress generated by excess free radicals has harmful effects which have been linked to several diseases involving inflammation, such as atherosclerosis. Recently published articles emphasize that atherosclerosis is a process influenced by excessive formation of free radicals with concomitant inflammation. Fighting free radicals is important to prevent the emergence of diseases. Similarly, more knowledge about the existence of diseases generated by the oxidative processes related to inflammation may be an important contribution to the immunological studies and possible treatments.Downloads
