Cataract, oxidative stress role

An area of considerable interest is the antioxidant function of ascorbic acid. Ascorbic acid is probably the most effective and least toxic antioxidant present in the human body. Therefore, ascorbic acid may be important in protecting against oxidative stress-related diseases, including cancer, coronary heart disease, cataract formation, and aging. Chapters are devoted to these and other associations of ascorbic acid with disease. A related chapter is devoted to the radiation protective effect of ascorbic acid. One chapter is devoted entirely to the role of ascorbic acid in aging, while another chapter reviews the extensive epidemiological evidence for the relationship between ascorbic acid and chronic health risk. [Pg.446]
