Description
Summary:In recent years, the role of oxidative stress in the etiopathogenesis of depression has been increasingly discussed. The mechanisms by which stress has a negative effect on the brain are not yet fully understood. Free radicals cause rapid damage to certain cellular macromolecules that may be involved in cytotoxic effects in the central nervous system. The effectiveness of new types of supplementation therapy with antioxidants - vitamins A, E, C, Omega-3 fatty acids, Coenzyme Q10 and Zn are being studied.
