NATURAL ANTIOXIDANTS AS DEFENSE SYSTEM AGAINST CANCER
In living cells, the production of free radicals that comprise both reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species is highly regulated that help the cells to sustain redox homeostasis. Overproduction of ROS from mitochondrial electron transport chain leakage or excessive stimulation of xanthine oxidase and other oxidative enzymes leads to ...

Biological Antioxidant Defense System and Metallothionein.
A biological role of metallothionein (MT) as a radical scavenger has been proposed. The hypothesis is based on the following two observations. One is that MT is induced by exposure to radical generating conditions such as paraquat, carbon tetrachloride or fasting.

A robust zinc‐based metal–organic framework (ZnMOF) enables dual functions of doxorubicin delivery and sustained Zn2+ release to trigger ferroptosis‐enhnaced chemotherapy. DOX@ZnMOF effectively depletes intracellular glutathione, suppresses GPX4, and elevates reactive oxygen species, leading to efficient oxidative DNA damage and apoptosis.
