| Abstract | Cells in humans are constantly exposed to a variety of oxidizing agents from naturally occurring processes, environmental stimuli/pollutants, and lifestyle stress/activities. The key factor in a biological system is to maintain a balance between oxidants and antioxidants to sustain optimal physiological conditions. Imbalance of the process leads to oxidative stress, which causes oxidative damage to the biomolecules such as lipids, proteins, and DNA, resulting in an increased risk of diseases like cancer. Epidemiological studies have shown that effects of various dietary antioxidants and their bioactive components can perform a great role in cancer chemoprevention. |
