Connective tissue is known to provide structural and functional “glue” properties to other
tissues. It contains cellular and molecular components that are arranged in several dynamic …

Oxidative stress (OS) refers to the enhancement of oxidation and the decreased of related
antioxidant enzymes activity under pathological conditions, resulting in relatively excess …

Connective tissue is a ubiquitous component of the organism. It has multiple functions that
are all required to guarantee physiological activities, normal development and repair …

Oxidative stress occurs due to the imbalance between the production of reactive oxygen
species (ROS) and the availability of antioxidants or radical scavengers. The excess ROS …

Objectives: The metabolism of cells in articular joint tissues in normal and pathological
conditions is subject to a complex environmental control. In addition to soluble mediators …

Living cells continually generate free radicals or reactive oxygen species (ROS) through the
respiratory chain during energetic metabolism. ROS can either be harmful or play important …

connective tissues are essential for the physical functioning of the animals's body. The
condition of the various connective tissues is governed by biochemical factors, anabolism …

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease that affects approximately 1% of the
worldwide population. In recent decades, oxidative stress (OS) has been shown to be …

During the “respiratory burst” in activated leukocytes, the release of reactive oxygen species
(ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) occurs, and these phenomes present a central …

Oxidative stress (OS) has greatly interested the research community in understanding
damaging processes occurring in cells. OS is triggered by an imbalance between reactive …
