The natural endogenous physiological antioxidant systems for controUing the potentially injurious elFects of environmentally exacerbated oxidative stress, may be modulated by a number of various nutritional and pharmacological supplementary interventions.

If detoxication does not remove them, reactive metabolites to which we are exposed can combine covalently with tissue macromolecules of many kinds. Alternatively, a chemical or its metabolite can start a process such as oxidative stress by reacting with oxygen or by changing an endogenous substance such that it in turn will react with oxygen.
