A substance that prevents other molecules from oxidising is known as an antioxidant1. A chemical process called oxidation can generate free radicals, which can set off a series of events that can harm cells. Ascorbic acid, an antioxidant, stops these cascades of events. Reactive-oxygen species (ROS) are produced in excess by plants and animals as a result of various abiotic stressors. ROS are extremely sensitive and toxic, damaging proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, and DNA as a result, which causes oxidative stress. This oxidative-stress damages tissues and contributes to a broad range of illnesses2. Antioxidants counteract the effects of ROS and aid in disease prevention by balancing their effects. Antioxidants can be naturally occurring or synthetic. Common cancer preventatives are ingested through diet because they are present in organic foods, veggies, and flavours. Additionally, several designed cancer preventative substances like BHT and BHA prevent oxidation. The search for non-toxic cancer prevention agents has gotten stronger in recent years, nonetheless, as it has been determined that these synthetic cancer prevention agents pose risks to people. Keywords: Parkinson's disease, Parkinson's cancer, ascorbic acid, and tocopherols.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
