Abstract
The generation of reactive oxygen species, such as the
supcroxideanionradical and hydroxyl radical, is known
to lead to a variety of pathological conditions. Antioxidants
such as vitamins A, C, Eand antioxidant enzymes
are known to prevent the deleterious elfects of these
toxic radicals. THe role of free radicals in disease may
be most familiar to readers of the literature on postischacmic
organ reperfusion injury. However, recent
studies have shown that these radicals may also play a
role in the ageing process, artherosclerosis,
carcinogenesisa and even Diabetes mellitus
