Are There Any Controversies or Challenges in Free Radical Research?
Free radical research is complex and sometimes controversial. One challenge is the measurement of free radicals in biological systems due to their high reactivity and short-lived nature. Moreover, while antioxidants are generally beneficial, excessive supplementation may disrupt cellular redox balance and lead to unintended effects. This underscores the need for a nuanced understanding of oxidative stress and antioxidant therapy.
