Cardiovascular systems, reactive oxygen species

The protective effects of carotenoids against chronic diseases appear to be correlated to their antioxidant capacities. Indeed, oxidative stress and reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation are at the basis of oxidative processes occurring in cardiovascular incidents, cancers, and ocular diseases. Carotenoids are then able to scavenge free radicals such as singlet molecular oxygen ( O2) and peroxyl radicals particularly, and protect cellular systems from oxidation. [Pg.135]

Like the examples cited above, there are several current hot topics of research in photosensitization, including the use of photodynamic therapy for malignancies, the use of photosensitizers as model systems for studying physiological and pathological processes involving reactive oxygen species, the development of model systems to produce cerebral ischemia, the use as antimicrobials and to treat blood and blood products, and photosensitization in the cardiovascular system, the main topic area of this review. [Pg.2770]
