"Oxidative damage" refers to harm or injury caused to cells in the body due to a process called oxidation. This occurs when oxygen molecules in the body split into single atoms with unpaired electrons, which are called free radicals. These free radicals are highly reactive and can damage important components of cells such as proteins, DNA, and cell membranes. This damage can disrupt the normal functioning of cells and contribute to various health problems, including aging, inflammation, and diseases like cancer and heart disease.
Full definition
Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that promotes a healthy immune system and prevents
oxidative damage in white blood cells, and also supports heart health.
Many ailments in dogs are linked to high levels
of oxidative damage, such as cancer, autoimmune disease and mental decline.
This potentially cancer -
inducing oxidative damage might be prevented or limited by dietary antioxidants found in fruit and vegetables.
New research shows that following a balanced, high - protein diet that includes intermittent fasting can help you
decrease oxidative damage, detox from stored toxins, and protect your heart.

oxidative damage which results to muscle burning instead of muscle building.

oxidative damage generated during normal metabolism.
The chemistry of the mitochondria is also the primary source of free radicals that result in age
related oxidative damage.
These free radicals can cause damage to other tissues in the dog's body and this process is
called oxidative damage.
About 90 per cent of a cell's oxygen is used in the mitochondria,
so oxidative damage is likely to be greatest there.

retinal oxidative damage and blindness was prevented.
This leads to increased cholesterol levels, decreased insulin sensitivity, and a decreased ability to prevent
oxidative damage done to our bodies.

of oxidative damage.

oxidative damage plays a significant role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease.
The question brought up by this research is how prevalent this trend is across other types of animals — whether all species deal with such high levels of
oxidative damage when they eat is an open question.
