About

    Nitrative stress is a type of oxidative stress that is caused by the overproduction of reactive nitrogen species (RNS) in the body. These reactive nitrogen species can damage cells and tissues, leading to various pathological conditions such as inflammation, neurodegenerative diseases, and cardiovascular disorders. Research in nitrative stress focuses on understanding the mechanisms underlying the production of reactive nitrogen species, their effects on cellular function, and potential therapeutic strategies to mitigate their harmful effects. This research area is important for developing new treatments for diseases associated with oxidative stress and inflammation.
