Summary
Oxidative stress occurs as a result of increased activity of free radical-producing enzymes, decreased activity of free radical-removing enzymes, and insufficient levels of antioxidants. The most sensitive molecules to oxidation are lipids. Loss of cell membrane elasticity, increased cell fragility, and a shortened cellular life span results from oxidation of cell membrane lipids.
