Dry up and survive: the role of antioxidant defences in anhydrobiotic organisms

2013-07-24

Abstract excerpt

Although the evolution of life has turned oxygen into a vital chemical for aerobic organisms, this element can also have deleterious effects on living systems through the production of oxidative stress. This is a process resulting from an imbalance between the excessive production of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) and the limited action of antioxidant defences. It is a particularly harmful health risk factor, invol...
