How Can Cellular Degeneration Be Prevented or Mitigated?
Preventing or mitigating cellular degeneration involves reducing exposure to toxicants and enhancing the cell's defensive mechanisms. Strategies include:
Antioxidants: Compounds such as vitamin C and E can neutralize ROS and protect against oxidative damage. Detoxifying Enzymes: Enhancing the expression of enzymes like glutathione peroxidase can help detoxify harmful substances. Lifestyle Modifications: Reducing alcohol consumption and avoiding exposure to known toxicants can prevent cellular damage.
