IntroductionOxidative stress results from an imbalance between the production of ROS and biological systems` ability to detoxify the reactive intermediates or to repair the resulting damages, which can impact all components of the cell, including proteins, lipids and DNA.
Oxygen is a vital element for all the organisms, but also an important element used in the mitochondria to generate energy when both ROS and RNS are formed.
PROBLEMS occur when the electron flow becomes un coupled generating free radicals.

Oxidative stress and metabolic pathologies
Oxidative stress appears when there is an unbalanced process between the formation of reactive species and the levels of antioxidants in the organism.
plays a pathological role in the development of various diseases including diabetes, atherosclerosis or cancer. The hypothesis that oxidative stress plays a significant role in the evolution of metabolic disorders, especially insulin-resistance state, is supported by several studies( where treatments reducing ROS production reverse metabolic alterations, notably through improvement od insulin sensivity or hyperlipidemia).
OXIDATIVE STRESS MARKERS
I. BIOMARKERS OF LIPID PEROXIDATION: MDA level modified proteins in atherosclerosis HNE level permanently formed at physiological conditions but in larger quantities in
neurodegenerative, atherosclerotic and inflammatory lesions Acrolein present in various environmental sources (cigarette smoke) but is increased in
cardiovascular diseases Isoprostanes family of prostaglandins generated by free radicals catalyzed peroxidation of esterified
arachidonic acidII. BIOMARKERS OF PROTEIN OXIDATION (major targets for reactive oxygen species): Carbonylated proteins level Lys, Arg, Pro and Hys are the principle aminoacid residues to form carbonyl derivates 3-nitrotyrosine (NO2-Tyr) Biomarkers derived from Tyr 3-chlorotyrosine (Cl-Tyr) 3-bromotyrosine(Br-Tyr) III. BIOMARKERS OF OXIDATIVE DAMAGE TO DNA 8-hydroxyl-2`-deoxyguanosine 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2`-deoxyguanosine 8-hydroxyguanineIV. OTHER BIOMARKERS Glutathion level
THERAPEUTIC STRATEGIES TO REDUCE OXIDATIVE STRESS
Vitamins with antioxidant effects ( vitamin C, A, E) and ω-3 which are used frequently after a heart surgery. When blood and nutrient flow are reduced during the surgery, ischemic diseases can appear. The ischemic period is followed by an over-active metabolic process soon after the blood and nutrient flow is re-established, leading to generation of high quantities of free radicals. This excess of free radicals is proved to have a high impact on the development of reperfusion injuries.
Polyphenols (resveratrol) found in wine, which have a direct antioxidant effect so they form ROS with lower reactivity and they also have the capacity to activate the endogenous antioxidant system and to inhibit ROS generating enzymatic system. New studies have shown their benefit in diabetes.
THE HUMAN DIET CONTAINS A VAST COMPOUNDS THAT POSSES
ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITIES BUT IS IT ENOUGH??
Nitrones ( NXY-059) is a synthetic substance, tested in vitro and also in vivo (phase 3 clinical trials in cerebral infarction) being an important spin trap for the superoxide anion and hydroxyl radical and also a source of nitric oxide. Studies have shown it`s safety for the human body but the clinical trails failed in spite of the good results reported in vitro. Hence, NXY-059 can represent a new way in treating oxidative stress.

ATHEROSCLEROSIS
Cholesterol(HDL/LDL)
Atherosclerosis(DISEAS)

25(OH)-CHOLESTEROL
OXIDATIVE STRESS
It is known that high level of LDL and low level of HDL is one of the cause of atherosclerosis so the cholesterol lowering medication appeared
NEW STUDIES have shown that oxidation of LDL, a result of oxidative stress via lipid peroxidation, is a good biomarker for the atherogenic process
Diabetes
HYPERGYLICEMIA
DIABETES
Antidiabetic medication
HB-A1c
OXIDATIVE STRESSS
High level of glucose in blood leads to hyperglycaemia, dieses known as DIABETES which has a strict medication and diet still the most useful biomarker used nowadays is Hb-A1c, a result of oxidative stress.
Hb-A1c appears physiologically but when the reactive species are higher than normal the plasma contains more than 5% of total haemoglobin.
Conclusions
There are a lot of biomarkers which show us that oxidative stress can be the key to prevent and to treat a lot of disease if it would be classified as an ILLNESS
Oxidative stress is the key in many pathological processes which could be avoided if the medication for this purpose would be studied
We consider that future design of molecules that will further promote ROS decrease might reveal particular interest
Having all these, we consider that OXIDATIVE STRESS should be considered an illness
