The Role of Antioxidants in Preventing Reperfusion Injury
As a blogger, I've recently been diving into the importance of antioxidants in our health, and I discovered their crucial role in preventing reperfusion injury. For those who aren't familiar, reperfusion injury occurs when blood flow is restored to an area after being blocked, leading to inflammation and oxidative damage.
