THE EFFECT OF BIOLOGICALLY ACTIVE SUBSTANCES ON THE BODY'S ANTIOXIDANT SYSTEM DURING OXIDATIVE STRESS

Oxidative stress plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of various chronicdiseases and aging processes. The body’s antioxidant defense system is responsiblefor maintaining redox balance and protecting cellular components from oxidativedamage. This study investigates the impact of biologically active substances (BAS),including vitamins, polyphenols, and other antioxidants, on the functionality andefficiency of the endogenous antioxidant system during oxidative stress. Utilizingboth in vivo and in vitro models, the study evaluates how BAS modulates oxidativemarkers and improves antioxidant responses. The results demonstrate a significantcorrelation between BAS intake and enhanced antioxidant enzyme activity,suggesting their potential therapeutic application in managing oxidative stressrelated conditions.
