The aim of this course is to give the students the understanding of free radical types and radicalic reactions in biological systems, to give the students an understanding of oxidative damage which is one of the most emphasized subjects of science by giving basic information about free radicals
Normal metabolic function or examination of free radicals generated under stress conditions and effects of free radicals on cell signaling and gene expression. Relationships of oxidant and antioxidant. Free radical scavengers against the destructive effects of free radicals and antioxidants, Oxidative damage in connection with pathogenesis of aging and disease.
