Although reactive oxygen species (ROS) are produced as a byproduct of oxygen metabolism, they play a significant role in normal cellular functions [1,2]. A well-organized antioxidant system maintains the physiological levels of ROS [3]. However, an imbalance between ROS production and antioxidant capacity causes ROS accumulation, which induces chemical modifications of DNA, protein, and lipids, leading to cellular damage, known as oxidative stress [1-3]. Oxidative stress is closely linked to a variety of diseases, including type 2 diabetes [1]. Type 2 diabetes is increasing globally due to the obesity pandemic and the growth of the aging population, and insulin resistance is a critical link between these two. Insulin resistance is known to be a critical risk factor for type 2 diabetes and other chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases and cancers [4]. It is known that hyperglycemia in diabetic patients leads to se
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.
