Radical causes of cancer.

Nature reviews. Cancer - 1 Apr 2003

Hussain S Perwez, Hofseth Lorne J, Harris Curtis C

Abstract excerpt

Free radicals are ubiquitous in our body and are generated by normal physiological processes, including aerobic metabolism and inflammatory responses, to eliminate invading pathogenic microorganisms. Because free radicals can also inflict cellular damage, several defences have evolved both to protect our cells from radicals--such as antioxidant scavengers and enzymes--and to repair DNA damage. Understanding the...
