OXIDATIVE STRESS AND INFLAMMATION IN CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASES
Julija Valaitienė Abstract Cardiovascular diseases are the most common reason for death worldwide, with heterogeneous pathophysiologic mechanisms. Augmented oxidative stress is a potential etiology of cardiovascular diseases induced by surplus levels of reactive oxygen species, which yield damage to cellular macromolecules such as DNA, proteins, and lipids. Increased reactive oxygen species result in decreased nitric…
