Dietary Intervention Oxidative Stress

Nutritional or dietary oxidative stress denotes a disturbance of the redox state resulting from excess oxidative load or from inadequate nutrient supply favoring prooxidant reactions.

Dietary intervention oxidative stress. Chronic pain is in part thought to be the result of oxidative stress and inflammation and clinical research has indicated links between these conditions and diet. In this review a number of clinical trials of dietary interventions will be examined to assess whether clinical implementation of diet has a significant influence on oxidative. Oxidative stress can contribute to inflammation 32 33 so it is reasonable that both oxidative stress and inflammation may underlie chronic painful conditions. Oxidative stress has been implicated as a causal factor in diseases such as hypertension 1 3 and atherosclerosis increased production or decreased scavenging of oxidants such as superoxide anion can give rise to hypertension by superoxide interacting with nitric oxide forming peroxynitrite 5 7 thereby decreasing nitric oxide availability for smooth muscle relaxation function.

Low intake or impaired availability of dietary antioxidants including vitamins e and c carotenoids polyphenols and other micronutrients e g selenium. A variety of uncontrolled small studies reported significantly reduced levels of oxidative stress after bariatric surgery induced weight loss 30 43 or moderate intensity exercise interventions in women 31 32 44 a 12 week dietary intervention among 20 women found that f 2 isoprostane decreased by 32 among women who lost 5kg of body.
