Should we take antioxidants or not??? (ros causes mitochondria to expand) Ros (reactive oxygen species) can induce oxidative damage (dna, proteins, lipids,) promoting aging and disease. Certain amount of ros is protective leads to apoptosis (death of cells) of damaged cells. What are the biological concepts of health from the systems biology perspective of the.
