Oxidative stress is one of the cellular mechanisms resulting in damage of proteins, lipids and nucleic acids, that can lead to apoptosis – death of cells. Overproduction of free radicals, including nitric oxide (NO) and reactive oxygen species (ROS), results in damage as free radicals are inadequately neutralized. Oxidative stress can be involved in aging process and development of many diseases, including:
COLOCO prp in vitro studies on peripheral blood mononuclear cells resulted in decreased level of free radicals indicating its strong antioxidant properties. COLOCO prp could be used to attenuate and prevent effects of some of the chronic oxidative diseases as well as slow down the aging processes.
