Allergy and Oxidative Stress
Journal Title: Annales Academiae Medicae Silesiensis - Year 2016, Vol 70, Issue
Abstract
Oxygen is a biogenic element which determines the course of basic biochemical processes to ensure the survival of the cell. Unfortunately, in particular circumstances, the highly reactive oxygen species (ROS) may cause a toxic effect on the body. Small amounts of ROS are essential for the proper functioning of cells, however, the excessive production of them, which transcend the effectiveness of antioxidant systems – defined as oxidative stress – promotes structural and functional disorders of cells and tissues. Nowadays, the significant participation of oxidative stress is increasingly more frequently indicated in the course and/or etiology of chronic inflammatory diseases, which include atopic diseases such as bronchial asthma, atopic dermatitis, or allergic rhinitis.
